Polyglutamic Acid vs. Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid (HA)/Sodium Hyaluronate is produced by the body naturally and has the greatest concentrations in the skin, joints, eye sockets and other tissues. Like Polyglutamic Acid/Sodium Polyglutamate, it’s used in beauty serums for its ability to improve skin texture.

While we make it naturally, its production declines with age because it’s broken down by the enzyme hyaluronidase. However, Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) is known to inhibit this enzyme, so the two can be used together and may even complement one another.

Polyglutamic Acid/PGA is not produced by the body but by a group of amino acids and good bacteria. Polyglutamic acid has a larger molecular size, so it can attract and seal in more water than Hyaluronic acid (HA). Cosmetic specialists note that Polyglutamic Acid/PGA is far more hydrating than Hyaluronic acid (HA), even though it’s not as well-known.
