Premium Polyglutamic Acid Powder

Premium Polyglutamic Acid Powder is a pure gamma polyglutamic acid powder for skincare designed for formulators who want hydration to become one of the standout features of their finished products.

Whether you're creating a simple serum at home or searching for cosmetic grade polyglutamic acid powder for professional formulations, this versatile raw ingredient gives you plenty of creative freedom. Available from 50g through to 1kg for personal projects, small batches and larger production needs, with free shipping included.

Product benefits

  • Powerful moisture retention helps skin hold onto water for longer lasting hydration
  • Film forming action creates a lightweight moisture retaining layer for smoother, cushioned feeling skin

Common uses

  • Hydrating serums: Use polyglutamic acid powder for serum making to create lightweight, hydrating formulas.
  • Plumping essences: Add to essences for improved moisture retention and a soft, cushioned skin feel.
  • Hydrating gels: An excellent polyglutamic acid powder for diy skincare when creating lightweight facial gels.
  • Toners and ampoules: Adds humectant and film forming properties to water based formulas.
  • Moisturisers and lotions: Supports moisture retention while improving glide and skin feel.
  • Primer style formulas: Creates silky gel textures that leave skin smooth and fresh.

Why formulators choose this ingredient

Polyglutamic Acid is more than another moisturising ingredient. Its combination of humectant and film forming properties makes it particularly useful when you want a formula to provide hydration while also creating a noticeably smooth and refined skin feel.

As a polyglutamic acid humectant for cosmetic formulations, PGA helps bind water while creating a lightweight film on the skin. In practical terms, this can make dehydrated skin feel softer, smoother and more cushioned while giving serums, gels and essences a more sophisticated finish.

It also gives formulators plenty of creative freedom. If you're looking to buy polyglutamic acid powder for skincare, the raw powder format lets you determine the supporting ingredients, texture and concentration instead of being restricted to a premixed finished serum.

Does this ingredient suit me?

It’s best for:

  • Dry and dehydrated skin
  • Skin that feels tight or lacking in moisture
  • Dull skin where a plumper, fresher appearance is desired
  • Mature skin where dehydration lines are a concern
  • Lightweight hydration formulations
  • Hydrating serums, gels and essences
  • Moisturisers and emulsions
  • Formulas designed for a smooth, cushioned skin feel
  • DIY skincare creators
  • Professional cosmetic formulators

Frequently asked questions

What is Polyglutamic Acid?

Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) is a humectant, film former and skin conditioning ingredient that helps support moisture retention.

What is gamma Polyglutamic Acid?

Gamma Polyglutamic Acid (γ PGA) is the cosmetic form valued for its water binding ability and lightweight moisture retaining film.

Is Polyglutamic Acid the same as Hyaluronic Acid?

No. They are different ingredients, although both are widely used in hydration focused skincare. PGA helps retain moisture by forming a lightweight film on the skin.

Can I use Polyglutamic Acid with Hyaluronic Acid?

Yes. Polyglutamic acid powder with hyaluronic acid can be used together to provide complementary hydration.

What can I make with Polyglutamic Acid Powder?

It can be used in hydrating serums, essences, gels, toners, ampoules, moisturisers, lotions and other water based cosmetic formulations.

How much Polyglutamic Acid should I use?

The recommended use level is 1% to 5% of the finished formulation.

Can I make a simple PGA serum?

Yes. Mix 1.5g (2 level scoops) with 48.5ml distilled water and allow it to hydrate for 1 to 2 hours until a clear serum forms.

Why does my PGA form strands while mixing?

This is normal and occurs because of PGA's natural film forming properties.

Is Polyglutamic Acid suitable for sensitive skin formulations?

Yes. Patch test finished formulations before use.

Can professional cosmetic formulators use this powder?

Yes. Available in sizes from 50g to 1kg for DIY formulators and professional cosmetic manufacturers.

How to use

Suggested Use

  1. Add 1.5g (2 level scoops) of Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) powder to 48.5 ml of distilled water
  2. Leave for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally
  3. Once fully hydrated, the mixture will become a clear, lightweight serum
  4. Soft, elastic strands may form while stirring. This is normal due to PGA’s film forming properties
  5. 1.5g of PGA powder makes approximately 50ml of serum

Professional tip

When using polyglutamic acid powder for skincare formulations, avoid introducing a large amount of powder into water all at once, as this can encourage clumping. For more advanced formulations, gradually disperse the powder and consider pre wetting it before incorporation. Where possible, add PGA during the cool down phase at 40°C or below, rather than exposing it to prolonged high temperatures.

For a simple DIY serum, add 1.5g, or 2 level scoops, to 48.5 mL distilled water and allow 1 to 2 hours for hydration, stirring occasionally. Soft, elastic strands during mixing can be normal due to PGA's film forming properties.

When developing commercial formulations, always perform stability, compatibility and preservation testing on the complete finished product.
