Boost Hydration, Support Collagen & Balance pH
Elevate your DIY skincare formulations with our high-purity L-Arginine Powder. As a naturally occurring amino acid, L-Arginine is a powerhouse ingredient essential for maintaining youthful, resilient, and deeply hydrated skin. Its versatile nature makes it an excellent addition to serums, creams, and, most notably, as a gentle, natural pH adjuster in acidic formulations.
Key Benefits
Deep Hydration & Barrier Support: Acts as part of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF), attracting water to the skin, keeping it plump, and strengthening the moisture barrier.
Anti-Aging & Collagen Booster: Supports collagen synthesis, helping to improve skin elasticity, firmness, and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Gentle pH Adjuster: Ideal for raising the pH in acidic formulations (like Vitamin C or AHA serums). It is much milder than sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or baking soda.
Skin Repair & Soothing: Known to aid in skin repair, making it beneficial for acne-prone or irritated skin.
Versatile Formulation: Water-soluble and compatible with most skincare ingredients.

As of August 29, 2025, there is a 35% tariff or duty charge imposed on all goods coming into the U.S. from Canada. The United States mandates that all packages entering the U.S. from Canada must have their duties prepaid (settled upfront).
Our "USA only" pricing incorporates the necessary duty and processing fee calculated separately for each item. The advantage is that we charge the exact duty for each item and use the most economical shipping rates for orders bound for the U.S. Consequently, our prices are more budget-friendly compared to the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping option, where you might pay a lower item price but face exorbitant shipping costs, as the estimation for duty and duty processing fees is included in the shipping charges. In the DDP scenario, shipping companies rely on a general estimate for duties which can exceed the true amount, as they do not possess the exact information for each unique item.
