    Sodium PCA is a naturally occurring humectant derived from amino acids, and is one of the key components of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). It attracts and retains moisture, improves skin texture, and enhances the feel and performance of personal care formulations for both skin and hair.

    Commonly Used In:

    • Facial serums and moisturizers
    • Hydrating toners and essence mists
    • Shampoos and conditioners
    • Leave-in hair sprays and scalp treatments
    • Soothing lotions and after-sun care

  • What is Sodium PCA?

    Sodium PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid salt) is a highly effective humectant that binds moisture to the skin and hair. It’s derived from L-glutamic acid and is known for its high moisture-retention capacity. Because it is a natural component of healthy skin, it is especially gentle and non-irritating—even for sensitive skin types.

    Why Use Sodium PCA?

    • Hydration Booster: Helps attract and retain water in the skin and hair
    • Natural Origin: Biodegradable and derived from amino acids
    • Gentle & Non-Comedogenic: Suitable for all skin types
    • Enhances Texture: Softens skin and smooths hair cuticle
    • Improves Spreadability: Contributes to the glide and feel of formulas

    Performance Highlights

    • Boosts performance of hyaluronic acid and glycerin
    • Improves conditioning in hair treatments
    • Compatible with serums, emulsions, and gels

    Formulation Tip:

    Add Sodium PCA to the water phase at room or warm temperatures (below 60°C). Use in combination with other humectants for long-lasting hydration synergy.
