Phytic Acid

Overview

Phytic Acid is a naturally occurring compound found in high-fiber foods. It plays a significant role in improving skin barrier function and supporting skin health.

Clinical Evidence

Recent studies have highlighted the benefits of Phytic Acid in dermatological applications:

Improved Skin Barrier Function

Phytic Acid has been shown to enhance the skin barrier function in murine models of atopic dermatitis. It alters skin microbiota-derived metabolites, promoting skin health.
