PGA, a hydration hero for all skin types
The peptide that holds even more moisture than Hyaluronic Acid!
Keeping skin properly hydrated is essential for maintaining a healthy, vibrant complexion. As agieng occurs, the skin loses key structural components and protective barrier properties. This results in dryness, irritation and the creation of fine lines and wrinkles.
In summary,
Skin that is hydrated and healthy ages less quickly.
Dryness and dehydration, if not addressed, will turn into accelerated ageing and wrinkles.
PGA is sourced from NATTO (a fermented soya bean), this powerhouse ingredient captures and retains moisture by enhancing and extending critical Hyaluronic Acid functionalities by increasing the levels of natural moisturising factors, contributing to maintaining and improving the structural integrity of the skin.
Pga holds 5000 x its weight in water – 5 x more than Hyaluronic Acid
All skin types can feel the effects of dehydration, whether dry, combination or oily. When creating a product with PGA generally they will suit all these skin types, especially if in a serum formulation as they tend to be water based so the texture is perfect (with smaller molecules) for quick and deep absorption.
