Glucose

  • Glucose acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin and helping to maintain its hydration levels. This property makes it effective in preventing dryness and keeping the skin soft and supple.

  • By drawing moisture from the environment or deeper layers of the skin, glucose helps to moisturize and hydrate the skin, improving its overall texture and appearance.

  • It has skin-conditioning properties that help to soften and smooth the skin, leaving it feeling silky and comfortable.

  • Glucose serves as an energy source for skin cells, providing the necessary fuel for cellular metabolism and repair processes.

  • It is a natural sugar found in plants and fruits. When used in skincare products, it is often derived from plant sources such as corn or sugar cane.

  • This ingredient is compatible with a wide range of skincare ingredients and formulations, making it versatile for use in various products, including moisturizers, serums, masks, and exfoliants.

  • It is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and is unlikely to cause irritation or sensitivity when used in skincare products.

  • While primarily known for its humectant properties, glucose also contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.
