Description
Dextran is a natural polysaccharide used in cosmetics as a moisturizer, soothing and anti-inflammatory component, as well as a carrier for active ingredients. It is able to retain moisture, improve skin elasticity and reduce irritation. It is often used together with bioactive peptides (such as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) because it helps them penetrate the skin. It is ideal for caring for sensitive and dehydrated skin.
