Sam’s Natural Wants to Groom You

What happens when a mechanic named Sam can’t find quality, natural products to clean his hands? Like any resourceful man, he somehow unearths them, even if it means creating them himself. Sam began experimenting with recipes until he finally developed his first product, the Walnut Scrub. His fellow mechanics wanted in on his concoctions, asking to purchase them for personal use. And so, Sam’s Natural was born. Free of artificial preservatives, harmful ingredients and animal byproducts, Sam and his wife Kristen formulate the line – using only sustainable manufacturing methods – fresh from New England and ship them directly to you. Their products are both safe and affordable, so all men can feel handsomely groomed all the time. Not to mention, Sam’s Natural products actually work.

But you’re a manly man, you don’t need to groom your bad, rugged self, right? If you’re a fella with this mindset, Sam has just the thing to change your mind. The Advanced Hygiene Bundle comes stocked with everything you need to start a proper grooming routine in the new year: Everyday Lotion, Soap for Men, Deodorant for Men, Slick Shave Soap, After Shave, XTreme Lip Balm and Hand Repair. Trust us – once you start a Sam’s Natural routine, you won’t want to return to your craggy ways.

It’s called polyglutamic acid — PGA for short, and it’s getting a lot of play for one major reason. It’s five times more hydrating than hydraluronic acid (HA), so it’s definitely got a lot to offer, and PGA is starting to turn up in an increasing number of products.
It is, new, though, so there’s a lot to unpack. Specifically, what benefits can you get from PGA? Where is it from, and how is it sourced? Is it easy to add to your skincare routine, or are there some hoops you need to jump through to do that?

Just what is polyglutamic acid?
