Sodium PCA 50%

Sodium PCA 50% (Sodium PCA) is a highly effective humectant celebrated for its remarkable moisture-attracting properties, derived from pyroglutamic acid, a naturally occurring component in human skin. As a key part of the skin's natural moisturizing factors (NMF), Sodium PCA plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy epidermis by drawing moisture from the air, imparting a soft, hydrated feel to both hair and skin. With its non-comedogenic and non-irritating qualities, even at concentrations up to 50%, it ensures gentle application without the risk of phototoxicity or sensitization. This rapidly biodegradable ingredient is soluble in water and ethanol, making it a versatile choice for a variety of formulations, from gels and creams to shampoos and conditioners. Notably, Sodium PCA is sourced from all-natural, vegetable-based materials, ensuring that it is free from any animal-derived components, appealing to a wide range of consumers seeking sustainable and ethical skincare solutions.
