Soluble Proteoglycan (Pure Powder)
Water-soluble proteoglycan cosmetic active powder standardized for Proteoglycan (HSPG) content ≥75%, for hydrating, firming/tightening and anti-aging water-based formulas.
Soluble Proteoglycan (Pure Powder) is a water-soluble cosmetic active powder standardized for Proteoglycan (HSPG) content ≥75%.
Proteoglycans and heparan-sulfate proteoglycans are matrix-associated biomolecules that help organize water binding, hydration microenvironment and extracellular-matrix signaling around the skin surface. In cosmetic formulas, this type of active is useful when the target is hydrated, smoother, firmer-looking skin without relying on a heavy oil phase.
This grade is supplied as an off-white to light-yellow powder. Aqueous solution is colorless to slightly yellow and clear, with solution pH 5.5-7.5, making it suitable for essence, serum, gel, mask and lotion systems designed around low-dose biological active positioning.
Product Description: Soluble Proteoglycan (Pure Powder) supports water-phase anti-aging and skin-comfort concepts. The ingredient is best positioned for formulas that aim to improve the appearance of dryness lines, loss of firmness, dull texture and stressed-looking skin. It should be presented as a cosmetic active for hydration, elasticity support and tighter skin feel, not as a drug-style repair ingredient.
| Technical Basis | Formulation Meaning | Customer Claim Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Proteoglycan / HSPG-rich active | Water-binding, matrix-supportive biological active for aqueous formulas | Hydrated, smoother and firmer-looking skin |
| Clear water solution | Suitable for serums, essences, gels and masks where clarity is important | Lightweight anti-aging and tightening products |
| Low recommended use level | Add as a cool-down active; avoid unnecessary heat and harsh pH stress | Premium active positioning at practical dosage |
Usage: Suitable for anti-aging serum, firming/tightening essence, hydrating gel, sheet-mask essence, eye-care serum, sensitive-skin comfort formulas and lightweight emulsions with a water phase.
Mixing method:
- Pre-dissolve or hydrate in deionized water, glycerin-water or propanediol-water before adding to the main batch.
- Add during cool-down below 40°C. Avoid prolonged heating, strong acids, strong alkalis and strong oxidizing systems.
- Recommended finished-formula pH: 3.5-6.5. If the formula has high electrolyte, high alcohol or strong surfactant content, check clarity and viscosity after 24-48 hours.
Usage rate: 0.01-0.10%. Typical starting point: 0.05%.
