Zinc PCA
Sebum-Regulating & Anti-Acne Supporting Active
What is Zinc PCA?
Zinc PCA is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient combining zinc, a well-known skin-conditioning mineral, with PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), a component of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). It is widely used in dermatological skincare formulations for oily and acne-prone skin due to its ability to help regulate sebum, support skin clarity, and maintain hydration balance. Zinc PCA is particularly relevant in moisturizers designed for acne-prone skin where hydration is required without exacerbating oiliness.
