Cosmetic Grade Xylitol Glucoside CAS 1095751-96-4

Humectant / Skin Conditioning Agent

In cosmetics and skincare products, Xylitol Glucoside serves a dual function: cleansing and moisturizing. It possesses excellent cleansing efficacy while remaining gentle and non-irritating. Simultaneously, it helps regulate the skin's hydrolipid balance, locks in moisture, provides soothing hydration, and maintains the skin's hydrated state. Studies indicate that lotions containing 0.5%–2% Xylitol Glucoside can boost skin hydration levels by 30%–50%, with moisturizing effects lasting for 8–12 hours; this makes it particularly suitable for strengthening the skin barrier in dry and sensitive skin types.

Strengthening Skin Barrier Function

Xylitol Glucoside also enhances the skin's barrier function, thereby reducing irritation caused by external environmental factors. Its gentle, skin-compatible nature makes it well-suited for use on sensitive skin.

Moisturizing

The moisturizing efficacy of Xylitol Glucoside significantly surpasses that of traditional humectants. It achieves both immediate and long-lasting hydration by forming a protective moisturizing film on the skin's surface to minimize moisture loss, while simultaneously promoting the synthesis of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) to enhance its water-retention capacity.

Regulating Skin pH

pH Balancing: The pH level of Xylitol Glucoside is similar to that of human skin. It helps regulate the skin's acid-base balance, reduces the skin's susceptibility to external irritants, and alleviates skin discomfort.
