Arginine Ferulate is a salt formed from the amino acid arginine and ferulic acid, used in skincare as an antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals and may support protection against oxidative and UV-induced damage. It also offers improved water solubility and stability compared to ferulic acid alone.
