What is Polyglutamic Acid?

Polyglutamic acid is an amino acid that is water soluble and is created when lots of glutamic acid molecules are linked together which is produced by bacterial fermentation. Our polyglutamic acid is made from Nattō, a favourite Japanese fermented beans dish!

Why use Polyglutamic Acid?

Polyglutamic acid is a hydration powerhouse! It is an incredible humectant that holds FOUR times more moisture than hyaluronic acid, smoothing out and plumps the skin, therefore reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while providing a perfect makeup base! PGA can serve many purposes due to the fact that it is edible, water-soluble, non-toxic, and biodegradable!

As one ages, the process involves the loss of hyaluronic acid in the skin, which is broken down by an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Moisturizers that have polyglutamic acid like our serum helps to inhibit the action of hyaluronidase thus resulting your skin retaining more hyaluronic acid, and giving an overall moisturized, rejuvenated, and hydrated appearance to them.

MAIN BENEFITS: Moisturizes skin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and pores, replenishes cell moisture.

WHO SHOULD USE IT: It is ideal for anyone with dry or dehydrated skin. Polyglutamic acid is safe for all skin types, however, if you have sensitive skin it is always best to patch test a new product.

Our BEAUTYSELF series Polyglutamic acid serum is formulated without harmful ingredients. Ingredients like sulfates (SLS and SLES), parabens, phthalates, and more are never used in our formulations. Whitening and moisturising your skin with a safer alternative, make our product part of your skincare regime and you will see the difference in 14 days!
