Primary Properties

1. Sodium PCA offers humectant properties. This ingredient is responsible for attracting moisture from the deeper layers of the skin and locking it at the top layer to provide deep hydration.
2. Sodium PCA leaves the skin feeling supple and healthy. It has the ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles that appear on the skin with age.
