Discover our top-selected Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) skin infusions designed to match Mediterranean climates and the highest aesthetic standards of Italian clinical brands.
In the rapidly changing landscape of biopolymer skincare, Gamma-Polyglutamic Acid (γ-PGA) stands out as a major innovation in moisture-retention science. Formed through the microbial fermentation of Bacillus subtilis, γ-PGA is a naturally occurring, biodegradable biopolymer with an exceptional water-binding capacity. While Hyaluronic Acid (HA) remains a classic industry standard, PGA offers distinct technological advantages. Research shows that high-molecular-weight PGA can bind up to 5,000 times its weight in water—significantly higher than HA's capacity.
Beyond simple water-binding, PGA helps preserve the skin's natural moisture network. It functions as a potent inhibitor of hyaluronidase—the endogenous enzyme responsible for breaking down Hyaluronic Acid in the dermis. By formulating a serum that combines both PGA and HA, brands can create a synergistic effect: the PGA protects existing HA reserves in the skin, extending hydration and maintaining skin plumpness for longer periods.
From a macromolecular perspective, PGA works by creating a breathable, flexible, and micro-elastic film on the stratum corneum. This thin barrier prevents Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) without clogging pores or blocking cellular exchange. Because of its unique structure, it also serves as an excellent primer for cosmetics. It smooths the skin's texture and fills fine dry lines, making it popular in high-end cosmetic ranges, such as those found on the runways of Milan.
Italy's cosmetic industry is recognized worldwide for its high standards of manufacturing quality, design elegance, and rigorous safety profiles. The Lombardy cosmetic valley alone accounts for a significant portion of global makeup production, setting high standards for raw ingredients. As Italian consumers move toward "clean clinical" products, skincare formulations must provide both visible results and clean ingredient profiles.
Italy's climate varies significantly between regions, presenting diverse skincare needs. In the southern regions and coastal cities, dry, sunny summers can stress the skin barrier, leading to dehydration and increased sensitivity. Conversely, northern cities experience cold, humid winters that can dry out the skin's surface. Traditional thick creams can feel heavy in warmer climates, making lightweight, highly concentrated serums containing Polyglutamic Acid an ideal alternative. They provide intensive hydration without a heavy residue, making them suitable for year-round daily wear.
Exporting to Italy requires strict adherence to European Union cosmetic regulations (Regulation EC No 1223/2009). This includes complete raw material traceability, comprehensive Product Information Files (PIF), and registration on the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP). As an experienced B2B partner, we ensure all export shipments are fully documented, heavy-metal tested, and free from banned substances, supporting smooth entry into Italian and European distribution networks.
Advanced active matrices including Ectoin, Copper Peptides, and Pure Bulk Powders for custom clinical integration.
Developing stable, high-performance skincare products requires a secure and consistent supply chain. As a leading manufacturer based in Shandong—a major global hub for biotechnology fermentation—Shandong OrDie Beauty Co., Ltd. integrates advanced bio-tech research with large-scale production.
Modern formulation design relies on using different molecular weights of PGA to target different layers of the skin:
• High Molecular Weight (HMW) PGA (>1,800 kDa): Sits on the skin's surface to create a protective barrier, lock in moisture, and create a smooth base for makeup.
• Medium Molecular Weight (MMW) PGA (800 - 1,500 kDa): Works within the upper layers of the stratum corneum to reinforce natural intercellular lipids.
• Low Molecular Weight (LMW) PGA (<50 kDa): Penetrates deeper into the epidermis, supporting skin elasticity and long-term hydration from within.
Our R&D team focuses on formulating clean, biocompatible products. By combining PGA with synergistic active ingredients like Ectoin, Niacinamide, and Arbutin, we create targeted serums that address hydration, skin-barrier repair, and brightening simultaneously. This multi-active approach helps brands simplify their product lines while delivering effective, multi-functional products.
Our state-of-the-art facility features ISO-standard cleanrooms, advanced purification systems, and fully automated packaging lines.

Shandong OrDie Beauty Co., Ltd. provides comprehensive, end-to-end B2B services tailored to the needs of Italian brand owners, clinical groups, and large-scale importers. We manage every step of the process, from initial formulation design and packaging selection to international customs clearance.
We offer customized formulation development to align with your brand's philosophy. Whether you want to develop organic, vegan-certified products, incorporate local Italian botanical extracts, or adjust texture and absorption profiles for specific skin types, our laboratory team can develop and test custom formulations to meet your requirements.
In line with European consumer preferences for sustainability, we offer a range of eco-friendly packaging options. These include PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics, recyclable glass bottles, refillable systems, and FSC-certified paper packaging. Our packaging solutions help brands meet environmental standards without compromising on visual appeal.
Every batch of Polyglutamic Acid Hydrating Serum undergoes thorough testing, including heavy metal screening, microbiological testing, and stability analysis. We provide complete documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), ensuring that all products meet standard import regulations and are ready for distribution.
Frequently asked questions regarding bulk supply, technical specifications, and formulation chemistry.
Our standard PGA formulations have a shelf life of 36 months when stored unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, the recommended period-after-opening (PAO) is 12 months. We utilize stable preservative systems that maintain efficacy while complying with European cosmetic safety standards.
Yes. PGA is highly compatible with other active ingredients. Unlike Hyaluronic Acid, which can lose structural integrity in highly acidic formulations, PGA maintains its stability and viscosity across a wider pH range (4.5 to 7.5). It helps soothe potential irritation from active ingredients like Retinol or Vitamin C, making it a valuable addition to multi-step skincare routines.
We provide both finished B2B cosmetic solutions (OEM/ODM) and high-purity raw materials. Our Natural Polyglutamic Acid Powder (PGA) CAS 25513-46-6 is available in bulk for brands with their own manufacturing facilities who want to handle their own compounding.
For standard formulations with existing packaging, lead times are typically 15–20 days. Custom ODM projects requiring new packaging and formulation design generally take 30–45 days. We work with established logistics partners to handle shipping, customs clearances, and delivery to ports and warehouses across Italy, including Genoa, Trieste, and Milan.
