Aquaporins are molecules that are bound into the membranes of cells. Their main function is to regulate the moisture levels in the skin. Deficiency in Aquaporins actually results in skin dysfunction. This is evidenced with Eczema as they have a deficiency of it.
So what do they do? In a nutshell they stop your skin being dehydrated. They are like an automatic tap for the skin to turn moisture levels up when required. As the weather changes over the coming months for those going into winter, you will notice your skin struggling to hold onto moisture. Aquaporins are the perfect way to overcome this.
We utilise Viola Tricolour extract for its specific regulation of Aquaporins in the skin. in our Roccoco Botanicals products to defend against moisture loss. Talk to us about which products are suitable for your skin type and needs.
