Xylitylglucoside

moisturising skin protecting

overview

Xylitylglucoside, a component of AQUAXYL, is a highly effective and hydrating skin ingredient derived from two water-binding plant sugars, xylitol and glucose. It optimizes water reserves by increasing natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and limits water loss by improving the skin's protective barrier. It is suitable for all skin types, especially those with dehydrated and dry skin. Xylitylglucoside is also known to enhance the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin's uppermost layer, the stratum corneum, which helps to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps to soothe irritated skin and enhance the absorption of active ingredients in skincare products.

benefits

Benefit title : Optimizes water reserves Benefit Description : Xylitylglucoside helps to increase important NMFs (natural moisturizing factors) like hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate in the skin, thereby optimizing water reserves. Benefit title : Limits water loss Benefit Description : Xylitylglucoside improves the skin barrier by increasing lipid (ceramides and cholesterol) and protein synthesis, which helps to limit water loss. Benefit title : Boosts the Skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) Benefit Description : Xylitylglucoside is a component of the skin's NMF, which helps to keep the skin hydrated and protected. By increasing the levels of xylitylglucoside in the skin, it can boost the skin's NMF and help to improve the overall health of the skin. Benefit title : Improves the Skin Barrier Function Benefit Description : The skin's barrier function is critical in protecting the skin from external factors such as pollution, UV rays, and other environmental stressors. Xylitylglucoside has been shown to improve the skin's barrier function by enhancing the production of ceramides, which are essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Benefit title : Anti-aging Benefits Benefit Description : Xylitylglucoside is known to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin's uppermost layer, the stratum corneum. Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule that helps to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By enhancing the production of hyaluronic acid, xylitylglucoside can help to promote a more youthful-looking complexion. Benefit title : Soothes Irritated Skin Benefit Description : Xylitylglucoside has been shown to have soothing properties and can help to reduce redness and inflammation in the skin. It works by reducing the activity of certain enzymes that can cause inflammation and by promoting the production of natural anti-inflammatory compounds in the skin. Benefit title : Enhances the Absorption of Active Ingredients Benefit Description : Xylitylglucoside can enhance the absorption of active ingredients in skincare products. It works by increasing the water content of the skin, which allows active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin's layers. This makes it an ideal ingredient for products designed to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin. Benefit title : Moisturizes and Restructures Skin Benefit Description : AQUAXYL acts as a moisturizing and restructuring agent, reducing trans-epidermal moisture loss and strengthening the skin's barrier function. It increases water reserves, including hyaluronic acid synthesis, and restores hair moisture. Benefit title : Improves Sensory Profile of Foaming Formulas Benefit Description : AQUAXYL optimizes the sensory profile of foaming formulas, making them more pleasant to use and improving their tolerance.
