Function
Skin Hydration
1.Enhanced Moisture Retention: Glyceryl glucoside is an excellent humectant, meaning it helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin. This leads to improved hydration and a plumper, more supple appearance.
2.Long-Lasting Hydration: It provides long-lasting hydration by forming a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss.
Skin Barrier Function
1.Strengthens Skin Barrier: Glyceryl glucoside helps to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, protecting it from environmental stressors and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
2.Improves Skin Resilience: By enhancing the skin barrier, it improves the skin’s resilience and ability to retain moisture.
Anti-Aging
1.Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Improved hydration and barrier function can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful look.
2.Promotes Skin Elasticity: Glyceryl glucoside helps to maintain skin elasticity, making the skin appear firmer and more toned.
Soothing and Calming
1.Reduces Irritation: It has soothing properties that can help to reduce skin irritation and redness, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
2.Calms Inflammation: Glyceryl glucoside can help to calm inflammation, providing relief for irritated or inflamed skin.
