Stories from Nature
Saccharide Isomerate derived from plant-based glucose, derived from corn, is a highly effective moisturizing and humectant sugar complex. Its biomimetic structure, similar to the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), promotes deep and long-lasting hydration, maintaining the proper hydrolipid balance and visibly improving skin texture.
It interacts with the epidermis to provide long-lasting hydration, a calming, soothing, and softening effect, and enhances the skin’s barrier function against external agents. It is recommended for use in moisturizing products for dry, flaky, and delicate skin and scalp, as well as in products for dry, brittle, and dull hair.
Skin Benefits
Saccharide Isomerate, a plant-based moisturizer, acts like a “magnet” for water, ensuring that cosmetics containing it provide prolonged hydration, helping to reduce dryness, flaking, and redness. Its soothing action relieves flaking and itching, improving the skin’s barrier function and reducing sensitivity.
It prevents dryness and flaking and strengthens the skin barrier against external aggressors. It is ideal for skin prone to dehydration and helps keep hands soft and smooth.
