Overview of Polyglutamic Acid

Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) is a high-performance biopolymer and humectant produced through the fermentation of natural substrates. It is widely used in personal care and cosmetic formulations for its exceptional moisture-retention capacity, skin-plumping effect, and film-forming properties. Polyglutamic Acid can hold several times more moisture than traditional humectants, making it a premium hydration ingredient.

In personal care products, Polyglutamic Acid is valued for delivering long-lasting hydration, improved skin elasticity, and enhanced barrier support. It is commonly used in facial serums, moisturisers, sheet mask essences, eye creams, anti-ageing products, and hydrating gels. It also helps improve the efficacy of other actives by reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Polyglutamic Acid works synergistically with ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine CP, Sodium PCA, Aloe Vera, Niacinamide, and Panthenol to create advanced hydration systems.

In selected hygiene and speciality formulations, Polyglutamic Acid is used where moisture retention, smooth texture, and skin comfort are critical performance factors.

ChemicalBull supplies quality-grade Polyglutamic Acid suitable for personal care manufacturing, ensuring consistent molecular profile, reliable hydration performance, and dependable bulk supply.
