Rhamnose

anti-ageing hydration

overview

Rhamnose, a sugar derived from plants like Buckthorn, poison sumac, and birch trees, is used in skincare as an emulsifier, improving the texture and consistency of cosmetic products. Rhamnolipids, formed by combining rhamnose with hydroxyl fatty acids, act as surfactants, reducing surface tension and allowing ingredients with different solubility to blend better. Rhamnose has also been patented for its potential anti-aging and anti-wrinkle properties. Additionally, it exhibits skin-soothing benefits, boosts skin hydration, and inhibits advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which degrade skin's firm look. Teflose®, a polysaccharide obtained by bacterial fermentation, contains 60% rhamnose and has high anti-inflammatory and soothing power.

benefits

["Product Stabilizer : Rhamnose, when combined with hydroxyl fatty acids, forms rhamnolipids that act as emulsifiers, stabilizing cosmetic products and improving their texture and consistency.", "Anti-Aging : Rhamnose has been patented for use in anti-aging and anti-wrinkle products. Studies have shown that a 5% concentration of rhamnose can positively impact epidermal thickness and collagen production.", "Soothing : Rhamnose exhibits skin-soothing benefits.", "Hydrating : Rhamnose's humectant properties boost skin hydration.", "Anti-Glycation : Rhamnose inhibits advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which degrade skin's firm look.", "Anti-Inflammatory : Teflose\u00ae, with its high rhamnose content, has strong anti-inflammatory properties.", "Microbiota-Friendly : Rhamnose is a prebiotic, which serves as an energy source for skin's probiotics to thrive and restore a healthy microbiome balance. Teflose\u00ae is an exclusive microbiota-friendly active ingredient that maintains the balance of the microbiota by preventing the hyperproliferation of certain types of bacteria responsible for dysbiosis (ie imbalances)."]
