Tales from Nature
Saccharide Isomerate from Plant Glucose, derived from corn, is a high-performance moisturizing and humectant sugar complex. Its biomimetic structure, similar to the Natural Moisture Factor found in the skin (NMF), promotes deep and prolonged hydration, maintaining proper hydrolipid balance and visibly improving skin texture.
It is able to interact with the epidermis by providing lasting hydration, soothing, calming and softening action and improve its barrier function against external agents. It is indicated in moisturizing products for dry, flaky and sensitive skin and scalp and in products for dry, brittle and dull hair.
Skin Benefits
Saccharide Isomerate, a plant-derived moisturizer, acts as a "magnet" for water, causing cosmetics containing it to provide immediate and prolonged hydration, helping to reduce dryness, cracking and redness. Its soothing action relieves flaking and itching, improving the skin's barrier function and reducing skin sensitivity.
It prevents dryness and flaking and strengthens the skin barrier against external agents. It is ideal for skin prone to dehydration and helps keep hands soft and smooth.
