Pyroglutamic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H7NO3, colorless crystal, soluble in water.
Features and Uses Human skin contains a water-soluble substance with moisturizing function - natural moisturizing factor, which is roughly composed of amino acids, inorganic salts, and other organic substances. Therefore, pyroglutamic acid is one of the main components of the skin's natural moisturizing factor, and its moisturizing ability far exceeds that of glycerin . And non-toxic, non-irritating, it is an excellent raw material for modern skin care and hair care cosmetics. Pyroglutamic acid can also inhibit the activity of tyrosine oxidase, thereby preventing the deposition of "melanoid" substances in the skin, and has a whitening effect on the skin. It has a softening effect on cutin and can be used in nail cosmetics. In addition to the application in cosmetics, L-pyroglutamic acid can also form derivatives with some other organic compounds, which have special effects in surface activity, transparency and brightening. It can also be used as a surfactant for detergents; chemical reagents for the resolution of racemic amines; organic intermediates.
