Tales from Nature
Fructose is a simple sugar found naturally in solid or aqueous solution in most sugary fruits and their juices, then in honey, and to a lesser extent in various vegetables, including sugar beet or sugar cane, from which the better-known sucrose is also made. Fructose is the sweetest of all sugars.
Fructose is a sweet-tasting substance that can be used as a sugar substitute for sweetening drinks, making desserts, and preserving food.
In cosmetics it is used in body and facial scrub and scrub formulas because of its ability to smooth and exfoliate the skin. Its granules, which are much smaller than those of salt, are less aggressive and also suitable for impure skin. Circular movements with the scrub's microbeads remove surface skin cells, promoting regeneration of the underlying epidermal tissues. And the skin looks smooth and radiant.
The properties of sugar go beyond mechanical exfoliation. Sugar is also a natural antiseptic that can purify the skin, preventing the formation of blemishes and blackheads. It also proves to be an ally against hyperpigmentation.
