ISOMERATE SACCHARIDE

ISOMERATE SACCHARIDE

EXCIPIENT ⎪ HUMECTANT 

What is Saccharide Isomerate?

The Saccharide Isomerate is a cosmetic ingredient derived from natural sugars, known for its exceptional moisturizing properties. This unique compound acts as a humectant, attracting and retaining moisture in the skin. Unlike other humectants like glycerin, Saccharide Isomerate binds directly to keratin, providing long-lasting hydration, even after rinsing. Thanks to its biocompatibility and effectiveness, it is used in a wide range of products, from moisturizers to hair products, and is particularly suitable for dry or dehydrated skin.

The saccharide isomerate is of natural origin because it comes from the sugar beet, making it an interesting alternative to synthetic ingredients.

In our hydrating perfecting emulsion, it is used as a humectant. Thanks to its ability to bind to the superficial layers of the epidermis, it forms a protective barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss, thus allowing maintain optimal skin hydration.

Where does Saccharide Isomerate come from?

Saccharide Isomerate is derived from natural sugars, usually extracted from wheat or corn through a specific enzymatic process. This process transforms sugars into a compound similar to carbohydrates naturally present in the skin, allowing it to bind effectively to the upper layers of the epidermis. Its natural origin and environmentally friendly manufacturing process make it a popular ingredient in natural and eco-responsible formulations.
