Polyglutamic acid is the new buzz-worthy ingredient that beauty brands are raving about. Its ability to hold water in the skin and make it appear more plump and healthier-looking has caught the attention of consumers and beauty experts alike. While it may seem similar to hyaluronic acid at first glance, polyglutamic acid is not naturally present in the body, and its benefits are still being researched. However, encouraging results in both consumer and clinical trials have led to beauty brands incorporating it into their products.
One such product is The Inkey List’s Polyglutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen SPF30, which combines high levels of glycerin with polyglutamic acid for ultimate hydration. Another standout brand is Glow Recipe, which uses polyglutamic acid with hyaluronic acid in its Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist for a refreshing and hydrating experience. REN’s Perfect Canvas Smooth, Prep & Plump Essence is also a notable product, delivering excellent results with a blend of polyglutamic acid, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin.
While polyglutamic acid may still be a new ingredient in the beauty industry, its potential for hydrated and plumped skin makes it an exciting addition to any skincare routine. Keep an eye out for more products featuring this star acid in the future.
