Formula: C8H15NO6 Chemical Family: N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine
Assay (On dry basis) : 99.9%
Usage Percentage: Upto 8 to 10%
Solubility: In general, it is a white and slightly sweet powder that melts at 221 °C. The solubility of GlcNAc is 25% in water, and 1% aqueous solutions are colorless and clear.
Incorporation: Dissolve in water and add to batch below 50°C (122°F). It is soluble at up to 25%, although only solutions below 10% will remain clear and colorless.
Acetyl glucosamine is a multi-purpose antioxidant that has been shown to be effective in reducing visible discolorations (specifically in 2-5% concentration). It works particularly well for evening skin tone when paired with the B vitamin niacinamide. It can also help reinforce skin’s supportive elements and is known to be soothing.
One of the uniquely beneficial aspects of acetyl glucosamine is that it is a precursor of hyaluronic acid (meaning it helps skin produce its own hyaluronic acid content naturally). Hyaluronic acid is a fundamental component responsible for helping skin maintain hydration and elasticity.
N-acetyl glucosamine is considered to be a “skin identical ingredient”, meaning it’s found in our skin in the spaces between the cells, and it is used to maintain skin’s barrier abilities and reduce dryness. Studies have shown that NAG can increase collagen production, increase moisture content of the skin, increase elasticity of the skin, increase exfoliation, and increase the speed of wound healing.
NAG has been shown to reduce hyperpigmentation and can be combined with niacinamide to further increase its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation. N-Acetyl Glucosamine is an amino sugar that has skin exfoliating properties similar to alpha and beta hydroxyl acids without the irritation. NAG can normalize the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, so it can be a good replacement for acid based exfoliation ingredients that might annoy sensitive or rosacea prone skin.
