What is Zinc PCA?

Zinc PCA is a powerful anti-aging and skin-rebalancing compound that regulates sebum production, reduces inflammation, and protects against oxidative stress. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, boost collagen production, and prevent premature aging, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. In haircare, Zinc PCA nourishes the scalp, controls excess oil, and prevents hair thinning by stimulating follicles and reducing DHT buildup. However, its bioavailability can be limited. Micellar Cosmetics’ Green Micellar™ formulation enhances absorption, stability, and deep penetration, ensuring maximum anti-aging, oil-balancing, and protective benefits for clear, youthful skin and strong, healthy hair without irritation.
