Zinc PCA (zinc pyrrolidone carboxylate) is a zinc salt that combines zinc and pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA). It is a multifunctional ingredient widely used in skin and hair care products. Zinc PCA not only has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties but also regulates sebum secretion, making it suitable for oily and acne-prone skin.
Regulates 5α-reductase activity to normalize sebum production for a matte, shine-free complexion.
Exhibits antimicrobial action to combat C. acnes and reduce breakouts and skin infections.
Reduces skin redness and irritation, calming inflammatory acne and soothing sensitive skin.
Acts as a natural moisturizing factor (NMF), locking in moisture and preventing dryness without clogging pores.
Zinc PCA is typically used at concentrations between 0.5% and 3%, depending on the type of product and the intended effect. It is an ideal active for oily and acne-prone skin formulations.
It is commonly used in various cosmetic formulations to improve skin texture and scalp health:
Cleansing milk and foam to cleanse skin and control oil.
Daily care products for long-lasting oil control.
Highly effective treatments for oily skin textures.
Deep cleansing and oil-control masks.
Shampoos and conditioners to regulate scalp oil.
