Na‑PCA (Sodium PCA) is the sodium salt of PCA – an electrolyte‑balanced humectant that provides instant, tack‑free hydration. Unlike high‑molecular‑weight sodium hyaluronate, Na‑PCA dissolves instantly in cold water and leaves no residue. Ideal for clean label, vegan, and palm‑free formulations.
Sodium PCA Liquid (50% active) is a ready‑to‑use, electrolyte‑balanced humectant supplied by Polygon Life Science, a leading B2B supplier of high‑purity cosmetic raw materials. As a trusted cosmetic ingredient supplier, we manufacture this liquid sodium PCA for formulators seeking a tack‑free hydration solution that integrates instantly into cold processes. Unlike powdered humectants, our liquid sodium PCA requires no heating, no hydration time, and no dust control – making it the preferred natural humectant for cosmetics and clean label skincare applications. This vegan humectant is also palm‑free and compatible with micellar waters, gel creams, scalp tonics, and after‑sun mists. Whether you are a private label manufacturer or a global skincare brand, partnering with Polygon Life Science ensures batch‑to‑batch consistency, full documentation, and technical support.

Water activity (aw) is <0.3 at 25°C, making it resistant to microbial growth in dry state. Sealed pouch shelf life is 24 months. Once opened, use within 6 months and keep tightly closed.
Yes – use same percentage. However, Na‑PCA provides less viscosity, so adjust thickeners if needed.
Na‑PCA is not a growth medium for bacteria or fungi when preserved correctly. In challenge tests, preserved formulations with 5% Na‑PCA passed USP <51> criteria. Unlike HA, Na‑PCA does not contribute to biofilm formation.
