Description

Glycolipids are natural or synthetic lipids linked to carbohydrates that are used in cosmetics for their ability to support skin barrier functions, improve hydration, and restore the lipid layer of the epidermis. They help strengthen the protective layer, reduce moisture loss, and make the skin soft and elastic. Glycolipids can also have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which is why they are often added to products for sensitive, dry, or damaged skin.
