Sodium Pyrollidone Carboxylic acid helps attract and retain moisture to the skin.
Sodium salt of 2-pyrrolidone-5-pyrrolidone-5-caboxylic acid. Naturally occurring component of human skin believed to be in part responsible for its moisture binding capacity. Highly water absorbing and at high humidity dissolves in its own water hydration. Excellent humectant and emollient.
(Derived from plants, fruits, grasses, vegetables) Moisturizes, humectant, emollient.
an excellent natural moisturizer
A naturally occurring component of human skin that is believed to be in part responsible for its moisture-binding capacity. Ours is derived from vegetable sources. It is highly water absorbing and at high humidity dissolves in its own water. Builds skin moisture without adding oil. It softens, hydrates, and reduces the scaling and flaking common in dehydrated, oily complexions. Assists moisturizers and conditioners to maintain proper moisture levels.
A natural component of skin. It is one of the best moisture binders available, as well as a humectant (promotes the retention of moisture in the skin) and an emollient (acts to smooth and soften the skin).
The sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid. A high performance humectant (water binder) found naturally in all living cells. It is commonly referred to as the "natural moisturizing factor".
A moisture-binding and moisture-balancing element absorbed quickly into the skin.
a naturally-occurring component of human skin that is thought to be responsible for an ability to trap moisture.
This vegetable-derived humectant is made from the fermentation of sugar or starches. A component of skin's natural moisturizing factor, the concentration of which decreases with age. Helps increase skin softness by aiding moisture retention.
Naturally occurring component in human skin responsible for binding and retaining moisture to cells. Absorbed quickly into skin when applied topically.
A powerful humectant (moisturizing agent). This natural moisturizer is found in stratum corneum and is part of the natural Moisturizing Factor of skin.
The sodium salt of pyroglutamic acid. Commonly referred to as the 'natural moisturizing factor', it is found in all living cells. Its function is to help maintain water balance in cells. The body's NaPCA production decreases with age.
A natural moisture binding agent which helps to bind water in the skin.
Sodium PCA, or NaPCA, is a natural component of human skin, sometimes called the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). The outer layer of the skin is generally composed of about 12% Sodium PCA. It plays its role by helping the skin attract and retain moisture, thus helping impart elasticity and softness and encouraging the skin to maintain its healthy functioning overall. Sodium PCA is a great high-performance humectant (water-binding agent) for all skin types. It is nonsensitizing, nonirritating, and noncomedogenic.
