Anhydroxylitol, also known as Aquaxyl, is a sugar-derived moisturizer that helps to keep the skin hydrated and prevent dehydration. It is part of a trio of tack-free sugar-based hydrators, along with xylitylglucoside and xylitol, which work together to optimize the skin's water reserves and provide instant plumping. Anhydroxylitol is a dehydrated derivative of xylitol, a sugar found on cellulose of wood, sugar cane, corn cobs and certain hulls of seed. It is also known to reduce water loss (TEWL) and provide dry skin relief. Aquaxyl acts as a moisturizing and restructuring agent. It reduces the trans-epidermal moisture loss and strengthens the barrier function. Increases the water reserves, including hyaluronic acid synthesis. It restores hair moisture at the heart of the cuticle. AQUAXYL™ optimizes the sensory profile of foaming formulas and improves their tolerance. Is preservative-free and used in skincare, rinse and non-rinse hair products. It is ECOCERT and Natrue compliant.

Conditions the skin: Anhydroxylitol helps to condition the skin, making it smoother, supple, and moist. Enhances penetration: Anhydroxylitol helps other ingredients penetrate the skin more easily. Dry skin relief: Anhydroxylitol helps to relieve dry, tight and uncomfortable skin. Moisturizes hair: Anhydroxylitol helps to moisturize hair and improve its texture.
