Product Description
Most commercial face creams are oil-based and work by blocking the release of water from the skin. That may work with younger skin, but as we age, the skin loses its ability to even attract moisture. Instead, aging skin needs to be replenished with its natural moisturizer complex to attract and retain water. One of the natural humectants (agents that attract and hold water) in young skin is NaPCA (the sodium salt of pyrollidone carboxylic acid). The ability of the skin to hold moisture is directly related to its NaPCA content. Aged skin is depleted of the compound, as well as other humectants, needed to retain water. NaPCA, which is manufactured in human skin by an amino acid conversion, functions to naturally draw moisture and hold it in place within the skin. It is the most powerful, non-toxic humectant known and the most important humectant in the skin.

Aging skin contains only about 1/2 the amount of Na-PCA-as that found in young skin. The ability of skin to hold moisture is directly related to its Na-PCA content. It is water, and not oil, that keeps skin soft and supple. Na-PCA pulls water out of the air, moisturizing the skin, improving its appearance, and giving it a moist and youthful glow. This is not a cosmetic cover up; it is a physiological correction of an age-related deficiency state.

Na-PCA with Aloe Vera is a pH-balanced, concentrated solution of the sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (the natural moisturizing factor found in human skin), combined with the highest quality aloe vera gel. Na-PCA is synthesized from glutamic acid, a nonessential amino acid. The skin contains natural moisturizers, the most important being Na-PCA.

Ingredients: Pure Aloe Vera Gel, Na-PCA (the Sodium Salt of Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid), Purified Water, Methyl Paraben.

Recommended Use: After bath or shower, spray Na-PCA on the hands and apply to the face and other skin areas. It can be applied under makeup or skin cream, or used under shaving cream for a more close, non-irritating and smooth shave. Na-PCA can be sprayed on live plants to enrich their moisture content.

WARNINGS: Keep out of the reach of children.

NOTES: Na-PCA with Aloe Vera provides quick relief from dry and cracked skin, burns, shaving irritations, detergent rash and other minor skin irritations.

This product has made quite an improvement in my skin. Even my friends have commented on the change. Much better than oily or greasy moisturizers and doesn't clog the pores.

Na-PCA with Aloe Vera stung my face and eyes. I don't know what's in it but it sure was harsh to my face, I had to return this.

I have used Na-PCA with ALoe Vera daily for 15 years as an aftershave. Two squirts in my palm and a quick facial pat and my skin is moisturized without grease or fragrance/odor. Perfect for me!

I have been using this product for several years for my dehydrated, oily/sensitive skin. I have seborrheic dermatitis and this moisturizes my flaky skin without oil, scent, or heaviness. I have repurchased this product countless times and would not be without it. I'd highly recommend this product.
