Functional use of Sodium L-pyroglutamate CAS 28874-51-3

  Sodium PCA, also known as sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate, is used in cosmetics as a moisturizer, skin conditioner and antistatic agent. It is a natural component of the skin and a good moisturizer. It strengthens the keratin function and enhances the moisturizing ability of the skin itself. SodiumPCA (SodiumPCA) is a naturally occurring humectant in human skin, is the main component in the skin stratum corneum, it has strong moisturizing properties, it is an amino acid derivative. PCA sodium delivers water to the hair and skin and is used as an emollient or moisturizer in conditioners and moisturizers; It can also be found in shampoos, hair sprays, hair gels, skin fragrances, and other kinds of hair and skin.
Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (‌PCA) ‌ has many functions and uses, ‌ mainly include:
  Moisturizer: ‌PCA is mainly used as a moisturizer in skin care products, ‌ can provide a strong moisturizing effect, ‌ has a good safety and low irritation to the skin. ‌
  Antibacterial agents and oil control and anti-fat spillage: ‌PCA ZINC (‌ZINC PCA) ‌ another important role in skin care products is as antibacterial agents and oil control and anti-fat spillage components, ‌ can regulate sebum secretion, ‌ can reduce the activity of lipase, ‌ can effectively control oil secretion2 in the short term. ‌
Antioxidant and promote the synthesis of collagen: ‌Copper pyrrolidone carboxylate (‌Copper PCA) ‌ is a super powerful antioxidant, ‌ its antioxidant properties are 40 times that of ordinary L-ascorbic acid, ‌ can stimulate the synthesis of collagen in skin, ‌ accelerates tissue repair, ‌ increases skin elasticity. ‌
  Nutritional supplement and flavor agent: ‌ as a kind of amino acid, ‌ pyrrolidone carboxylic acid not only provides an important raw material for the synthesis of protein in human body, ‌ is also used in nutritional supplements and flavor agents, ‌ co-heat with sugar to produce amino acid - carbonyl reaction, ‌ to produce special flavor substance 4. ‌
  To sum up, ‌ Sodium L-pyroglutamate and its derivatives play an important role in cosmetics and personal care products. ‌ not only provides moisturizing and oil-controlling effects, but also ‌ has antioxidant functions and promotes skin health. ‌ ‌ It also plays a role in the field of food additives and nutritional supplements. ‌
