CAS 54571-67-4: Sodium PCA
Description:Sodium PCA, or sodium pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, is a naturally occurring humectant derived from amino acids, specifically proline. It is commonly used in cosmetic and personal care formulations due to its excellent moisture-retaining properties, making it effective in hydrating the skin and hair. Sodium PCA is known for its ability to bind water molecules, which helps to maintain skin elasticity and softness. It is also recognized for its compatibility with various skin types, including sensitive skin, and is often included in products such as moisturizers, serums, and hair conditioners. Additionally, Sodium PCA has a low toxicity profile and is considered safe for topical use. Its solubility in water enhances its utility in formulations, allowing for easy incorporation into aqueous products. Overall, Sodium PCA is valued for its multifunctional benefits in enhancing skin and hair hydration, improving texture, and contributing to the overall efficacy of cosmetic products.
