Lysine hydrochloride (lysine is the amino acid lysine) is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as an antioxidant (inhibits reactions which are promoted by oxygen and thus prevents oxidation as well as rancidity of ingredients), reducing agent (reduces oxygen or adds hydrogen and thus changes the chemical composition of a substance) and skin care product.
