Actique™ PGA (Sodium Polyglutamate) is a natural, fermentation derived active with exceptional skin benefits. This easy-to-use powder adds effective, instant hydration as well as long lasting hydration by preventing skin trans-epidermal water loss. Actique™ PGA enhances and extends critical hyaluronic acid functionalities, resulting in skin retaining youth and elasticity. This product increases the skin’s production of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) and decreases TEWL. Actique™ PGA possesses excellent sensory properties and increases skin smoothness, leaving a silk skin feel. This product can also help maintain bleached hair strength and hydration by forming a protective layer on the hair strand. Actique™ PGA is biodegreadable & non-toxic.
