General Description

NANOMOIST NaPCA, chemically known as Sodium PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid), is a naturally occurring humectant derived from amino acids. It is a key component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF), known for its ability to attract and retain moisture. NANOMOIST NaPCA is highly effective at hydrating both skin and hair, offering superior moisture-binding capabilities without a greasy feel. It is non-comedogenic, non-irritating, and widely favored in modern skincare and personal care formulations focused on hydration and barrier support.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

NANOMOIST NaPCA is extensively used in the formulation of:

  • Deeply hydrates and helps maintain skin’s moisture balance.
  • Boosts hydration and improves skin softness and elasticity.
  • Enhances hair hydration, softness, and manageability.
  • Prevents moisture loss during cleansing and supports skin comfort.
  • Aids in replenishing hydration and calming dry or irritated skin.
    Its compatibility with a wide range of ingredients and pH stability makes NANOMOIST NaPCA a preferred ingredient for both rinse-off and leave-on applications.

Hazards

NANOMOIST NaPCA is considered safe and gentle for cosmetic use. However, general precautions apply:

  • Extremely rare, but highly concentrated formulations may cause mild irritation in hypersensitive individuals.
  • Should be used within recommended concentrations to avoid over-hydration or tackiness on the skin.
  • As a humectant, it can increase water activity in formulations, which may require careful preservation strategy.

Storage & Stability

  • Store in a cool, dry place in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption.
  • Stable across a wide pH range (4–8) and compatible with various active ingredients and emulsifiers.
    NANOMOIST NaPCA is available for wholesale and bulk purchase, providing formulators with a high-performance, skin-identical moisturizing agent suitable for a wide range of skincare, haircare, and personal care products.
