Product Introduction
Sodium L-Pyroglutamate (Sodium PCA), CAS 28874-51-3, is a sodium salt of L-pyroglutamic acid, naturally derived from glutamic acid. As a primary component of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), Sodium PCA plays a vital role in maintaining optimal skin hydration levels by attracting and binding water molecules from the environment. Its exceptional hygroscopic properties make it one of the most effective humectants available for cosmetic formulations, outperforming traditional moisturizers such as glycerin and propylene glycol. Sodium PCA is highly compatible with all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin, and is extensively used in premium facial moisturizers, anti-aging serums, hydrating toners, body lotions, and hair conditioning products.
Product Functions
  • Humectant: Superior moisture-attracting and water-binding for long-lasting skin hydration.
  • Skin Conditioning: Enhances skin softness, elasticity, and overall texture.
  • NMF Component: Replenishes natural moisturizing factors, supporting barrier function.
  • Compatibility Enhancer: Improves sensory profile and stability across wide pH range.
Application Areas
  • Skin Care: Facial moisturizers, anti-aging serums, hydrating toners, sheet masks.
  • Hair Care: Shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments for moisture retention.
  • Body Care: Body lotions, hand creams, body washes for all-over hydration.
  • Sun Care: After-sun lotions and soothing gels to replenish moisture.
Manufacturing Process
  • Synthesis: Neutralization of L-pyroglutamic acid with sodium hydroxide under controlled conditions.
