Glyceryl glucoside is a humectant composed of glycerol and glucose, beneficial for the skin. It attracts and retains moisture, ensuring balanced hydration and helping to prevent dehydration.

This component interacts with the skin's water transport channels, known as aquaporins, to maintain balanced hydration on the skin's surface.

The glucose part of glyceryl glucoside helps boost the skin's enzymatic antioxidants, improving its environmental defenses and reducing its tendency to dehydration.

Composed of ingredients naturally present in the skin, it is considered safe and non-irritating in cosmetics.
