What is Sodium PCA?

A natural component of the skin, Sodium PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid) provides impressive skin replenishing benefits due to the fact it carries humectant properties meaning it is able to draw in moisture from the air surrounding the skin and other skincare formulas, by locking in the excess moisture your skin will remain hydrated, looking plumped and healthy throughout the day.
