Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
Sodium PCA is an ingredient with great potential in the cosmetic industry, where it is widely used. It is a natural analogue of human skin and is a substance with a high water-binding capacity. This makes it an exceptionally effective ingredient for moisturizing products such as creams and emulsions. Its effects on the skin are clearly visible, as it gives the skin elasticity, shine, a healthy appearance and, above all, sufficient moisture. In addition, sodium PCA is an excellent moisturiser, which is used in shampoos, lip balms, shaving gels and other body and scalp care products, for example.
Other names for Sodium PCA are Cananga scented or Cananga odorata var. genuina. It is a fragrant tree found mainly in Southeast Asia, and its main product is an essential oil. This oil has an extremely pleasant and strong scent that is often used in perfumery. In cosmetics, this oil is then found as a component of many products, for example in soaps, creams, shampoos, body oils and others. Its fragrant component gives products an irresistible and unmistakable scent, which is also very beneficial to the human psyche. It has stress and tension relieving effects.
