China Factory Supply Cosmetic Raw Material Zinc Pyrrolidone Carboxylate/Zinc PCA
Product Description
Zinc Pyrrolidone Carboxylate Zinc PCA (PCA-Zn) is a zinc ion in which sodium ions are exchanged for bacteriostatic action, while providing moisturizing action and excellent bacteriostatic properties to the skin.
A large number of scientific studies have shown that zinc can reduce the excessive secretion of sebum by inhibiting 5-a reductase. The zinc supplementation of the skin helps to maintain the normal metabolism of the skin, because the synthesis of DNA, cell division, protein synthesis and the activity of various enzymes in human tissues are inseparable from zinc.

Function
1. Zinc PCA regulating sebum production: It inhibits the release of 5α- reductase effectively and regulates sebum production.
2. Zinc PCA suppresses propionibacterium acnes. lipase and oxidation. so it decreases stimulation; reduces inflammation and prevents acne production. which makes it multiple conditioning effect of suppressing free acid. avoiding inflammation and regulating oil levels Zinc PCA is widely touted as a standout skincare ingredient that effectively addresses issues such as dull appearance, wrinkles, pimples, blackheads.
3. Zinc PCA can give hair and skin a soft, smooth and fresh feeling..
Application
Zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate powder is mainly used in various fields including skin care products, cleaning products, medicine and other fields.
In the skin care industry , zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate is used as a cosmetic additive, mainly for sun protection and skin repair. It has the effect of oil control, can astringent pores, balance oil secretion, prevent the skin from spreading oil, and increase the skin luster. In addition, it gives hair and skin a soft, smooth and fresh feeling. These properties make zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate an ideal ingredient in many skin care products, with a recommended addition of 0.1-3% and an ideal pH range of 5.5-7.012.
In the field of cleaning products , the application of zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate may be involved in the formulation of certain cleaning products, although specific application details and product types are not specified .
In the medical field , zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate is used to regulate the balance between the synthesis and breakdown of dermal collagen to combat skin epidermal aging. Studies have shown that zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate can internally and externally prevent UV damage to diagonalized cells and fibroblasts, inhibit UV-induced matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression or enhance dermal collagen synthesis, thereby combating skin aging .
In other fields , the application of zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate may also include some unspecified areas, the specific application and effect of these areas need further research and exploration .
To sum up, zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate powder is the most widely used in skin care products, mainly for sunscreen, skin repair and regulate oil secretion, while in the medical field also shows the potential to fight skin aging.
