INCI Name: Zinc PCA
Product Overview: Top-active Zinc PCA is a cost-effective sebum regulator, especially suited to oily and blemish-prone skin, and helps prevent spots. L-PCA, a natural moisturizing factor found in skin, is combined with zinc to form Zinc PCA. Its higher cation content gives better cost performance and efficacy than other zinc forms. It effectively reduces excess sebum secretion (a hormone-related process), inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, limits sebum production and fights acne-causing bacteria, helping prevent scalp irritation from skin inflammation.
Key Benefits:
• Good antibacterial efficacy at low dosage
• Marked inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase activity
• Inhibits sebum secretion
Applications:
• Scalp care: shampoos for oily hair and anti-hair-loss care
• Astringent toners and purifying cosmetics
• Skin care: oily skin care and masks
