Saccharide Isomerate
Saccharide Isomerate is a plant derived mixture of sugars created by rearranging glucose molecules, most often sourced from corn. Through an enzymatic process called isomerisation the sugars are converted into a structure that closely matches the carbohydrates found naturally in human skin, especially those that make up the Natural Moisturizing Factor.
First explored by chemists in the late 1970s it quickly found a place in skin care as a dependable moisturizer that keeps working even after rinsing. Production starts with purified plant glucose, which is treated with specific enzymes under controlled temperature and pH, then filtered and concentrated into a clear water soluble liquid that is easy to add to cosmetic formulas.
This ingredient is prized for one main function that delivers a noticeable benefit to both products and skin.
As a humectant Saccharide Isomerate attracts and binds water to the surface of the skin. This helps keep skin hydrated for long periods, reduces the feeling of tightness and makes the complexion look smoother and plumper. Because it bonds so well with the skin it continues to draw moisture even after washing, which can improve the overall performance of a formula and offer lasting comfort to dry or sensitive skin.

Saccharide isomerate is a good water-retaining agent and emollient. The isomerized D-glucan, which has the ability to repair epidermal cells and enhance skin hydration, is manufactured through biochemical technology. It has a composition structure similar to that of the human stratum corneum. It can be combined with ε-amino acid functional groups on the skin, just like Firmly combined like a magnet, it can maintain the skin's hydromagnetic field capacity for a long time.
It can be widely used in various skin and hair cosmetics. It has good skin humidity regulation and long-lasting moisturizing effects in skin cosmetics, and the effect can last until the keratin is naturally peeled off, moisturizing and reducing irritation; in hair products, it has moisturizing, anti-static and anti-aging effects.
