INCI Name: Sodium PCA
Function: Humectant, Moisturizer, Skin Conditioning Agent
Sodium PCA is 1.5 times more effective than glycerin at attracting water to the skin. As a result, these two ingredients are frequently combined to enhance a formula's ability to retain moisture.
Sodium PCA is a natural moisturizing factor derived from amino acids, commonly found in the skin.
It is a powerful humectant in skincare and haircare formulations. Sodium PCA helps to maintain the skin’s hydration balance, keeping it soft, smooth, and moisturized. It is gentle on the skin and works effectively to improve the overall appearance of dry or dehydrated skin, leaving it plump and refreshed.
Sodium PCA is water-soluble and easily incorporated into aqueous-based formulations.
It functions optimally in a slightly acidic to neutral pH range (around pH 4 to 7).
