Love this product as I feel it gives a smoother feel to my products and no tackiness.
Sodium PCA gives good hydrating properties to skincare formulas even at a relatively low input. Nice to use in conjunction with hyaluronic acid.
It is a bit like glycerin and gets sticky if you put too much in a toner. It’s an effective humectant.
