Glyceryl Glucoside

Description

Glyceryl Glucoside is a combination of glycerin and glucose, which naturally occurs in algae that survive in extreme conditions. In cosmetics, it is used for its powerful moisturizing properties, ability to retain moisture in the skin, and maintain a healthy water balance. Glyceryl Glucoside activates aquaporins - proteins responsible for transporting water in the skin, which helps cells to better moisturize. This contributes to improved elasticity, softness, and overall appearance of the skin. The component also has antioxidant properties and helps the skin adapt better to stressful conditions. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, it is often included in moisturizing serums, creams, and anti-aging products.
