Saccharide Isomerate

Saccharide Isomerate is a plant-derived carbohydrate complex that mimics the natural carbohydrate complex found in human skin. It binds to the skin like a magnet, providing long-lasting hydration and strengthening the skin's natural moisture barrier. This ingredient helps to prevent moisture loss and keeps the skin feeling smooth and comfortable.
