Arginine is an amino acid that helps the body build protein. It is generally considered safe for topical use and oral consumption. Arginine is found in most protein-rich foods, including fish, red meat, poultry, soy, whole grains, beans and dairy products. It is also available as a supplement in oral and topical forms. L-arginine is also being explored for its potential use in cosmetic surfactants as a more biocompatible alternative to traditional forms.
