Tales from Nature
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy transport molecule in cells. Often referred to as the "universal energy currency," it stores and releases energy needed for vital processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and protein synthesis. In cosmetics it is used both for its anti-aging effects and as a stimulator in melanin production.
Benefits Skin
It is an "energy active" derivative of Adenosine. In the skin it acts as a source of cellular energy, stimulating cellular metabolism, skin regeneration, and skin vitality and tone. In tan activator products, ATP supports the skin by making it more ready and responsive.
