Sodium PCA
General properties
Sodium PCA is a powerful moisturizing agent, naturally present in the skin as a component of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It works by attracting water and helping to maintain skin moisture, improving skin elasticity and smoothness. Unlike other humectants, sodium PCA does not leave a greasy feeling, making it ideal for all skin types, including oily skin. By strengthening the skin barrier, it also helps protect the skin from environmental aggressors.
The properties of the ingredients in different formulations depend on their content and specific use.
