GABA (γ-Aminobutyric Acid) is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid, emerging as a star ingredient in the bioactive skincare era. As the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, it offers dual benefits of “neuroregulation + skin repair,” perfectly addressing modern consumers’ demands for mild, effective, and non-invasive anti-aging solutions. Our cosmetic-grade GABA is produced via advanced lactic acid bacteria fermentation, ensuring exceptional purity and safety that complies with international cosmetic standards.
This versatile ingredient stands out for its multi-targeted efficacy: it relaxes facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles instantly, inhibits inflammation for sensitive skin relief, and stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis for long-term skin firmness. With the global market for GABA-containing cosmetics exceeding 5 billion RMB in 2024 and growing at 25% annually, it has become a must-have for anti-aging and sensitive skin formulations.
