Feature:
Sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate is an important protein in the final stage of epidermal granular layer keratinization, which is the decomposition product of filiform aggregate protein. Sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate in normal skin is shed and disappeared by epidermal cells during epidermal shedding: But the surface layer of the skin is constantly updated. So the amount of sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate in normal skin is unchanged. However, if the keratinization process is incomplete and the nucleus remains, the amount of PCA in the epidermal layer will decrease, and the skin will become rough. Therefore, normal skin is exposed to unsuitable humidity, dry and hot environments, or cold air invasion or growth. Time sun exposure, it will become dry and cracked, then you need to supplement sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate.
Sodium 5-oxo-L-prolinate has the following applications/functions:
Moisturizer
Sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate is a naturally occurring substance in the skin. It is an amino acid derivative. It is soluble in water and ethanol, but insoluble in oil. It has strong hygroscopicity and can also absorb water from the air. It is used in cosmetics. Of course, as a humectant, humectant occupies a very important position in all cosmetic raw materials. On the one hand, almost all cosmetic formulas are inseparable from humectant, which is one of the basic substances constituting cosmetics; on the other hand, moisturizing Moisturizers play a vital role in the function and quality of cosmetics. In a sense, moisturizers determine the quality of cosmetics. There are many types of cosmetic moisturizers, such as glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, hyaluronic acid, and sodium lactate. But they have certain defects in their use and effect. The moisturizing ability of sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate is stronger than traditional moisturizers such as glycerin, propylene glycol and sorbitol. It is not affected by humidity, temperature and wind in the external environment; other raw materials have coexistence and good permeability.
At the same time, sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate has a certain inhibitory effect on the activities of amino acid oxidase, phenol oxidase and other enzymes, which can reduce the "enzyme browning" phenomenon and prevent the deposition of "melanoid" substances in the skin. Makes the complexion whiter and has a whitening effect.
