  N-acetyl D-Glucosamine (NAG)

  Hi

  I was wondering if dietary supplement N-acetyl D-Glucosamine (NAG) can be used in serum/lotion formulations?

  In my area, it is not available with the cosmetic ingredients suppliers.

  I wouldn’t use it as it’s not only NAG in a capsule. There are additives also, like magnesium stearate, cellulose and/or others.

    What I have are micro granules, not capsuled. The label says “100% RAW, ORGANIC, NO ADDITIVES”.

      It could be ok if you test it first (in a Lab that does that) as you don’t know the level of contamination in it.

      Or you could use the money for the said test to buy from a manufacturer.

      Also I doubt about the “organic” part. It might be as organic as some known synthetic preservatives labelled as “natural”.
