Sugar tensides
INCI Name:
- Caprylyl/Capry glucoside
- Decyl
- Lauryl Glucoside
These surfactants are created from the connection between a fatty acid and a glucose molecule. Sugar surfactants, also known as Alkyl polyglucosides, are good alternatives to commonly used sulfur (sulfate) surfactants. Their foaming and degreasing effect is weaker, but they are gentler on the skin.
-
An ingredient hydrolyzed from elastin, the protein responsible for skin elasticity, and absorbed into the skin.
-
Rich in fatty acids and beta-glucan, which help reduce skin irritation.
-
Hydrating properties thus helping to maintain skin elasticity, reducing inflammation and redness.
