Description

Maltose is a disaccharide, a natural sugar used in cosmetics as a moisturizer and skin softener. It helps to retain moisture in the epidermis, providing long-lasting hydration and supporting the skin's barrier functions. Maltose can also support the health of the skin's microbiome by stimulating beneficial bacteria. Thanks to its gentle action, it is suitable for use in products for dry, sensitive, and aging skin, as well as in baby cosmetics. In addition, maltose can improve the texture of the product and reduce its stickiness.
