Saccharide Isomerate， Nature’s Moisture Anchor ，72-Hour Lock for Radiant Skin

Product Detail

Saccharide Isomerate is a natural carbohydrate complex structurally similar to the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs). Its unique isomerized glucose derivative structure allows it to form a moisture-binding reservoir within the upper layers of the epidermis. This innovative ingredient creates a protective hydration shield, continuously attracting and binding water molecules from the environment and deeper skin layers, resulting in sustained 24-hour moisturization without stickiness or residue. The scientific name of "Moisture-Locking Magnet" is Saccharide Isomerate, a natural moisturizing ingredient formed by the isomerization of D-glucan . After modification of its molecular structure via biochemical technology, it has a high similarity to the amino acid sequence of scleroprotein in the human stratum corneum . It appears transparent in liquid formulations, while the solid product is a white powder . The particle size can reach below 70nm after nanonization treatment. Key Benefits & Functions of Saccharide Isomerate 1.Intense & Long-Lasting Hydration: Binds water 2X more effectively than glycerin, maintaining optimal skin hydration levels for up to 24 hours. 2.Skin Barrier Support: Reinforces the skin's natural moisture barrier, reducing Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). 3.Enhanced Skin Elasticity & Suppleness: Improves skin firmness and reduces the appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration. 4.Lightweight & Non-Sticky: Delivers deep hydration without greasiness or tackiness, suitable for all skin types. 5.Soothing & Protective: Helps calm sensitized skin and protects against dehydration stress. 6.Bio-Compatible & Gentle: Mimics skin's natural sugars, ensuring excellent tolerance and compatibility. 7.Humectancy Synergy: Boosts the efficacy of other humectants (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin) in formulations. 8. Immediate & Long-Term Effects: Provides instant smoothness and a plumping effect, while improving overall skin quality with continued use. Functional Mechanism of Saccharide Isomerate Through a specific intermolecular structural recognition mechanism, it forms a covalent bond with the ε-amino functional groups of keratin in the stratum corneum [3-4]. This bond exhibits magnet-like firmness:

It can still maintain a water content of 28.2% in an environment with 65% relative humidity.
The moisture-locking film formed after binding can retain moisturizing effects for 72 hours.
The synergistic effect of lactic acid can expand the range of free ε-amino groups, enhancing moisturizing efficiency by 37%.
