ETHYL GLUCOSIDE.

Valuable CAS 30285-48-4 / HUMECTANT

Ethyl Glucoside is a versatile skin-conditioning agent and humectant, adept at enhancing the skin's moisture retention. Beyond its hydrating properties, it actively supports skin health by boosting collagen production and fortifying the skin barrier against environmental stressors.

Humectant Skin-Conditioning Agent Collagen Booster Skin Barrier Support Soothing Agent Antioxidant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by attracting and holding moisture within the skin, acting as a humectant. It stimulates the proliferation of normal human dermal fibroblasts and significantly increases collagen I synthesis. Furthermore, Ethyl Glucoside contributes to barrier integrity by enhancing cornified envelope formation in keratinocytes and offers protection against UVB-induced barrier disruption. Its additional benefits include reducing inflammation, soothing sensitivity, and providing antioxidant activity, which may aid in addressing hyperpigmentation.
