Sodium PCA 50%

SODIUM PCA 50%

Sodium PCA 50% is a high-performance, naturally derived humectant that plays a key role in skin and hair care formulations. As the sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid - an amino acid naturally found in the skin - it is a major component of the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF), making it highly effective at attracting and retaining moisture.

Renowned for its superior hydrating ability, Sodium PCA holds several times its weight in water. It helps to soften, smooth, and revitalise the skin while enhancing the performance and texture of formulations. In hair care, it can assist with reducing static, improves manageability, and adds moisture without weight.

COSMOS-approved, vegan-friendly, and palm-free, this versatile ingredient makes an ideal choice for formulators seeking a powerful, skin-compatible moisturiser that supports both performance and clean beauty values.
