Introduction |
Glucosylglycerol is a glycoside formed by the combination of glucose and glycerol. This biotechnologically produced compound is obtained mainly from the fermentation process of the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. Recognized for its safety and efficacy, it has become a sought-after ingredient in personal care and cosmetic formulations. |
Function |
Hydration Retention: Glucosylglycerol has excellent water-binding abilities, which allows it to attract and retain moisture in the skin, enhancing skin hydration and suppleness. Osmoprotection: It acts as an osmoprotectant, helping skin cells withstand fluctuations in osmotic pressure caused by environmental factors like humidity changes and dehydration, thereby preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Skin Barrier Strengthening: By supporting the skin's natural moisture balance, glucosylglycerol can contribute to the maintenance and improvement of the skin barrier function. |
Application |
Moisturizers & Creams: Incorporated into moisturizers and facial creams to boost their hydrating effects and improve the skin's overall texture and appearance. Serums & Lotions: Used in serum formulations to deliver targeted hydration and support skin resilience. Sunscreen & After-Sun Care: Added to sun protection and after-sun products to replenish moisture lost due to sun exposure and to fortify the skin against further damage. |
