Extended technical information

The Institute BCN technical documentation describes taurine as the only known natural sulphonic acid. It is a sulphur-containing compound that does not belong to the group of proteinogenic amino acids, but is of great cosmetic interest due to its dual action: on the scalp and on the skin.

In hair, taurine is presented as a key active ingredient in keratin synthesis and in supporting the circulation of nutrients towards the hair. The manufacturer states that it is concentrated in the hair bulbs, where it helps prevent deformation, prolong their useful life and stimulate visible hair growth. Applied to the scalp, it supports hair mass and adds shine, volume and a better overall appearance to the hair, which may look thicker, healthier and stronger.

The technical documentation also explains that taurine acts against fibrosis of the hair follicle, a degenerative process that reduces circulation and favours follicle miniaturisation. From the manufacturer’s cosmetic approach, this action helps prevent hair from becoming thinner, weaker and more brittle, while supporting blood microcirculation and nutrient supply.

On the skin, Taurine is presented as a revitalising and antioxidant active ingredient of particular interest for tired, ageing skin exposed to pollutants, tobacco smoke or UV radiation. The technical sheet highlights its role in collagen synthesis, its positive influence on dermal hydration and its support in detoxification processes and protection against free-radical damage.

Cosmetic action of taurine

Hair support

Institute BCN presents taurine as a cosmetic support active ingredient to reinforce hair mass, improve the appearance of hair lacking density and promote hair with more body, shine and visible presence.

Support for keratin and collagen

The technical documentation states that, as a derivative of methionine and cysteine, taurine stimulates both keratin formation and collagen synthesis, reinforcing its interest in hair and facial protocols.

Antioxidant action

Taurine is presented as a sulphur-containing compound with strong antioxidant properties. The manufacturer links it to the neutralisation of the effects of free radicals and to the protection of cell membranes against damage induced by UV radiation.

Revitalisation of tired skin

Applied to the skin, it acts as a revitaliser for tired, ageing and dull skin, especially skin exposed to environmental pollutants and tobacco smoke.

Support for hydration and elasticity

The technical documentation links it to keratinocyte volume homeostasis, dermal hydration and collagenogenesis, increasing the concentration of hydroxyproline in the skin and promoting improved visible elasticity.

Support for epidermal healing

The manufacturer also attributes support for proper epidermal healing through a re-epithelialising action, within the product’s professional cosmetic approach.
