Skin Type

Saccharide isomerate is suitable for various skin types, including dry skin, dehydrated skin, sensitive skin and combination skin.

It’s especially good for skin types that are prone to dryness, flaking and irritation. For sensitive skin, do a patch test before using products with saccharide isomerate to ensure you don’t have any adverse reaction. Saccharide isomerate can also be used with other skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid and citric acid to enhance its benefits and provide overall skin care. So it’s a versatile ingredient that can be customised to suit different skin types and conditions.

Sensitive Skin Care

Saccharide isomerate is perfect for sensitive skin care because of its gentle and non-irritating properties. It soothes and calms the skin, reduces redness and inflammation and provides long-lasting hydration to dry and dehydrated skin. Saccharide isomerate also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it an anti-aging ingredient. When using saccharide isomerate for sensitive skin care, choose fragrance-free and hypoallergenic products to minimise the risk of irritation. This way even the most sensitive skin can benefit from its hydrating and soothing properties.

Product Description

Saccharide Isomerate Plus is a moisture-binding active ingredient designed to deliver long-lasting hydration in many cosmetic products. From plant-based sugars, this clear to amber liquid mimics the natural carbohydrates in the skin’s moisture barrier, making it an excellent choice for formulations that aim to boost hydration and skin comfort.

What sets Saccharide Isomerate Plus apart from other humectants is its ability to bind moisture to the skin or hair surface – even after rinsing. Unlike other ingredients that pull hydration from the skin, Saccharide Isomerate Plus draws water from the surrounding environment and product, making it perfect for dry, dehydrated or stressed skin conditions.

This ingredient forms a bond with the keratin in the skin and hair, delivering both immediate and cumulative moisture-retaining effects. Regular use leads to smoother texture and improved hydration without being washed away, making it an essential component in moisturisers, conditioners, hand creams, facial serums and hair masks.

Since it’s non-preserved, be careful not to contaminate it. But its natural composition, compatibility with ethanol-based formulations and versatility across a wide pH range make it a high-performance ingredient for innovative product development.

What is Saccharide Isomerate

Saccharide isomerate is a natural, plant-based ingredient that has become popular in the skincare industry due to its amazing skin hydration and skin barrier repair properties. This carbohydrate complex mimics the natural moisturising factor (NMF) of the skin, making it perfect for dry skin, dehydrated skin and sensitive skin. Its small molecular structure allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and protection against environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution. By binding moisture to the skin, saccharide isomerate helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier, so your skin stays hydrated and protected all day.
