N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) Powder
Brightening & Hydrating Active
CA$8.00
Unlock a brighter, more hydrated, and even-toned complexion with our pure N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) Powder. Known as a "skin-identical" ingredient, NAG is an amino sugar that occurs naturally in the skin and acts as a building block for hyaluronic acid. This powerful, non-acidic active gently resurfaces the skin, increases moisture content, and fades the appearance of hyperpigmentation—all without the irritation often associated with AHAs or BHAs.
Perfect for DIY skincare enthusiasts, this water-soluble powder is ideal for creating serums, creams, and lotions targeting aging, dark spots, and dullness.
Key Benefits
Deep Hydration & Plumping: Stimulates the skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid, increasing moisture levels and improving elasticity.
Gentle Exfoliation: Provides exfoliating properties similar to Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) but is non-irritating, making it suitable for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.
Brightens Dark Spots: Inhibits tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for melanin production), helping to reduce hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.
Anti-Aging & Collagen Support: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting better skin structure and repairing sun damage.
Synergistic Active: Pairs perfectly with Niacinamide to enhance skin brightening and barrier repair.
Ideal For
Hyperpigmentation & Dark Spot treatments
Dry or Dehydrated skin
Sensitive skin looking for gentle resurfacing
Anti-aging formulations
