What Is NaPCA?

NaPCA (Sodium PCA) is the sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, a naturally occurring component of the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor. It is a highly effective humectant that draws moisture from the air into the skin.

As one of the most hydrating ingredients in skincare, NaPCA helps maintain optimal skin hydration levels and supports the skin's natural moisture balance.
