Explained
Theanine is an amino acid found in plants and fungal species. Theanine helps hydrate the skin as an emollient and humectant.
Both emollients and humectants help hydrate the skin. Emollients prevent moisture from escaping by creating a thin film on top of the skin. Humectants draw water from the air to your skin.
Fun fact: Theanine gives green tea its special umami flavor.
