Saccharide Isomerate is a carbohydrate-based cosmetic ingredient primarily used as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent. It is particularly valued for improving skin hydration and supporting the skin barrier. It is commonly associated with the trade name Pentavitin®, although the trade…
Saccharide Isomerate is a carbohydrate-based cosmetic ingredient produced by enzymatic conversion (isomerization) of simple sugars, rather than being directly extracted as a finished ingredient from a plant or animal. 1. Primary raw-material source The starting materials are generally plant-derived sugars,…
1. Introduction of Saccharide Isomerate Saccharide Isomerate is a naturally derived carbohydrate-based moisturizing ingredient widely used in cosmetics and personal care products. It is a mixture of small, stable sugar isomers produced through the enzymatic rearrangement (isomerization) of plant-derived sugars.…
Saccharide Isomerate is generally prepared by enzymatic rearrangement (isomerization) of a mixture of simple sugars, followed by purification and stabilization. It is not a single pure chemical compound; rather, it is a mixture of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates, commonly supplied as an…
Saccharide Isomerate is a plant-derived carbohydrate complex widely used in skincare and personal care formulations as a long-lasting moisturizing and skin-conditioning ingredient. It is mainly valued for its ability to bind strongly to the skin surface, improve hydration, and support…
Saccharide Isomerate and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) are widely used cosmetic humectants, but they differ substantially in molecular structure, skin interaction, and formulation behavior. Feature Saccharide Isomerate Hyaluronic Acid Nature Mixture of small carbohydrate derivatives Polysaccharide composed of repeating disaccharides Primary…
Saccharide Isomerate is a naturally derived carbohydrate-based moisturizing ingredient widely used in skin-care and cosmetic formulations. It is a mixture of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates (sugar isomers) produced through the enzymatic rearrangement (isomerization) of plant-derived sugars, mainly glucose. It is classified as…
Saccharide Isomerate is a carbohydrate-based cosmetic humectant, commonly used in skin-care and hair-care formulations. It is produced by rearranging naturally occurring sugars into a mixture of low-molecular-weight saccharide derivatives. Its major value is long-lasting moisturization and improvement of skin-barrier hydration.…
Saccharide Isomerate is a carbohydrate-derived cosmetic humectant best known for its strong water-binding and long-lasting moisturizing properties. Although it is especially popular in skincare, it can also be useful in hair and scalp formulations, particularly products designed to improve hydration,…
