Polyglutamic acid solutions have the abilities of skin miniaturization and of melanin inhibition.
The molecular weight of polyglutamic acid can be reduced efficiently by HCl hydrolysis. The viscosity of low molecular weight of polyglutamic acid solutions are not affected by pH values.
When polyglutamic acid is added to emulsion, the particle size of emulsion is reduced and the ability of skin moisturization of the emulsion increases. Polyglutamid acid can be used as an excellent ingredient for skin moisturizers.

γ-PGA applied onto the skin, can enhance the Natural Moisturizing Factors ( NMF ) from deep inside the skin such as Pyrolidone Carboxylic Acid (PCA), Lactic Acid and Urocanic Acid, so that the skin will recover the natural rehydrating ability.
This effect will never happen for example on Hyaluronic Acid (HA).

New research reveals - Our top layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, takes its oxygen straight from the air & surrounding. But only moist skin can efficiently absorb oxygen to supply the skin cells. Skin moisturizing is crucial.The skin surface gets its oxygen from the atmosphere, not the blood! Insufficient oxygen supply to the cells reduces the natural moisturizing ability of the skin significantly. Visual signs of dry and ageing skin appear

Markus Stücker of the Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany, and his dermatologist colleagues have found that air supplies the top 0.25 - 0.4 mm of the skin with oxygen.
This is almost 10 times deeper than previous estimates. This zone includes the entire outermost layer of living cells - the epidermis - and some of the dermis below, which contains sweat glands and hair roots.

The finding could change skin care specialists approach to skin conditions. Says David Harrison, who studies the use of oxygen by the skin at the University Hospital of North Durham, UK: "Everyone thought that atmospheric oxygen was unimportant, but a significant depth of the skin is supplied from the air and environment."
This fact opens new aspects on using skin care products containing γ-PGA!

• Hyaluronic Acid and collagen as cosmetic agents are animal based and for many cosmetic users out today.
• Solution – The patented γ-PGA is plant based and more Hydrating than Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic Acid reduces, after longer application, the cells natural moisturizing factor of the skin. Additionally γ-PGA A provides more elasticity to the skin than Collagen. γ-PGA can therefore also be used as an effective anti-aging Skin Filler
