Product Overview
Sodium PCA (Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxylate) is a natural hygroscopic amino acid derivative extracted and refined for cosmetic & personal care manufacturing. It mimics skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF) to lock deep skin moisture without sticky residue, compatible with all water-based, transparent gel and emulsion formulations. We supply two grades: 50% clear liquid and 98% high-purity white powder, with strict heavy metal & microbial control for sensitive-skin skincare, facial care and hair care formulas. Widely applied in serums, creams, masks, cleansers, shampoo and conditioner, fully water-soluble with stable pH 6.5–8.5 to reduce formulation incompatibility risks.

FAQ
Q1: What cosmetic formulas can Sodium PCA be added into?
A: It fits facial moisturizing cream, hydrating serum, soothing mask, mild facial cleanser, transparent shower gel, moisturizing shampoo, hair conditioner and body lotion, applicable for both dry and sensitive skin series.
Q2: What's the difference between liquid Sodium PCA and powder Sodium PCA?
A: 50% liquid is easy to directly add into water-phase formulas without pre-dissolving; 98% powder has higher purity, smaller transport weight and better long-term formula stability for high-concentration moisturizing products.
Q3: Is Sodium PCA safe for sensitive skin and baby skincare products?
A: Yes, our cosmetic-grade Sodium PCA has heavy metal ≤20 ppm and low chloride content, non-irritating and non-comedogenic, widely used in sensitive skin and mild infant skincare raw material formulas.
Q4: Does Sodium PCA cause precipitation in transparent gel products?
A: Our product adopts multi-stage fine filtration during production with high water solubility, no turbidity or precipitation when matched with common gel bases like xanthan gum and carbomer.
Q5: What export certification documents can you provide for customs clearance?
A: We supply COA, MSDS, TDS, Halal certificate, Kosher certificate, SGS third-party test report and allergen-free statement according to different national import standards.
Q6: Can you supply low-odor customized Sodium PCA?
A: Sure, we adjust reaction purification parameters to remove residual processing odor, specially customized for fragrance-free skincare brands. Q7: How to control microbial contamination during storage and transportation?
