Saccharide Isomerate
What is Saccharide Isomerate?
Saccharide isomerate is like a long-term water investment for your skin—a plant-derived carbohydrate complex that binds to skin cells, providing hydration for up to 72 hours even after washing. This innovative ingredient mimics the carbohydrate complex found in human skin, allowing it to integrate seamlessly and remain active for days. Think of it as installing a slow-release water system that continues working long after application. It's the skincare equivalent of setting up automatic payments—you do it once and benefit continuously without further effort. For those seeking extended hydration without constant reapplication, saccharide isomerate offers that perfect combination of immediate moisture-binding and remarkable longevity that maintains optimal hydration levels between applications, making it particularly valuable for those with busy schedules or extremely dry environments.
