Product Overview
Polyglutamic Acid (γ-PGA) Powder is a cosmetic-grade biopolymer commonly sourced for skincare and personal-care formulation projects.
It is usually supplied according to defined purity, molecular-weight, moisture, and solubility requirements, and buyers often review formulation behavior and batch documentation before technical or commercial evaluation.
It is commonly considered for serums, creams, lotions, masks, and leave-on skincare systems, with sample evaluation, specification support, and bulk supply available for sourcing reference.
Applications
Serums
Suitable for serum formulations where buyers evaluate water-phase incorporation, dissolution behavior, molecular-weight range, viscosity contribution, and compatibility with other humectants.
Creams & Lotions
Considered for emulsion systems where formulation teams review water-phase compatibility, processing conditions, texture impact, and the selected PGA specification.
Facial Masks
Suitable for sheet-mask, gel-mask, and related skincare systems requiring compatible powder characteristics and controlled formulation behavior.
Leave-On Hydration Systems
Available for leave-on skincare concepts where sensory profile, tackiness, compatibility, and formula stability require pilot evaluation.
How to Choose the Right Grade / Form
Product Form and Identity
Confirm whether the supplied material is Polyglutamic Acid, Sodium Polyglutamate, a powder, or a solution before formulation and labeling review.
Molecular Weight and Formulation Behavior
Review the molecular-weight range because it may influence dissolution, viscosity, sensory profile, and behavior in the target formulation.
Purity and Documentation
Confirm the purity basis, moisture, pH, microbial limits, test methods, INCI, COA, SDS/MSDS, and TDS requirements before supplier comparison.
Technical & Formulation Notes
Technical Notes
Commercial evaluation should focus on product identity, purity basis, molecular-weight range, moisture, solubility, pH, powder consistency, and compatibility with the intended cosmetic system.
Buyers should confirm whether the supplied material is Polyglutamic Acid, Sodium Polyglutamate, or another PGA form before formulation and labeling review.
Manufacturing & Process
Manufacturing and finishing conditions should support consistent product identity, purity, molecular-weight profile, moisture control, and powder handling.
Process information and batch-quality documents can be reviewed according to supplier documentation and project requirements.
Compatibility / Formulation Notes
For water-based serums, confirm dissolution sequence, mixing conditions, pH, viscosity contribution, and compatibility with other polymers and humectants.
For creams and lotions, evaluate incorporation into the water phase and review potential effects on texture, stability, and sensory profile.
For masks and leave-on systems, pilot testing is recommended to confirm clarity, tackiness, film behavior, and long-term stability.
Keep the powder tightly sealed and minimize moisture exposure during storage and internal handling.
Extended QC & Test Items
Typical review points may include appearance, purity basis, moisture-related handling, solubility or dispersion behavior, and supporting batch documents such as COA, SDS/MSDS, and TDS/specification sheet.

FAQ
1) What is Polyglutamic Acid (gamma-PGA) Powder?
Polyglutamic Acid (gamma-PGA) Powder is a glutamic-acid biopolymer supplied for cosmetic and personal-care formulation projects. Buyers typically evaluate product identity, purity basis, molecular-weight range, solubility, and formulation compatibility before sourcing.
2) Is this product suitable for cosmetic formulations?
Yes. It can be evaluated for serums, creams, lotions, facial masks, gels, and other leave-on cosmetic systems. Final suitability should be confirmed through formulation testing using the supplied specification and sample.
3) What purity is available?
Purity or gamma-PGA content should be confirmed according to the agreed specification, analytical method, and batch COA. A 99% reference should only be used when supported by the corresponding test basis and supplier documentation.
4) Is Polyglutamic Acid the same as Hyaluronic Acid?
No. Polyglutamic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid are different polymers with different chemical structures, molecular-weight profiles, formulation behavior, and ingredient positioning. The appropriate material should be selected according to the intended system, sensory target, compatibility requirements, and technical specification.
5) What documents can be provided?
COA per batch, SDS/MSDS, and TDS or specification sheets can be provided according to product scope and sourcing requirements. Additional quality information may be discussed based on the intended application and destination market.
6) Can samples be arranged before bulk purchase?
Yes. Evaluation samples can be arranged for formulation review, supplier comparison, compatibility testing, and pilot production before commercial ordering.
