Non-essential amino acid used in cosmetic products for boosting collagen production and inhibiting melanin synthesis
L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid with a polar side chain. It serves as a biochemical precursor for dopamine and other catecholamines and is a key component in cell culture media used in the commercial biomanufacturing of therapeutic recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies. In cosmetic applications, it plays a role in research for skin brightening formulations, as tyrosinase analogs that compete with L-Tyrosine can effectively inhibit melanin production, making it relevant for whitening product development.
