Description

Functions

• Intense Moisturization：Xyloglucan forms a protective hydrogel film on the skin, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and maintaining hydration for extended periods. Mimics the moisturizing effects of hyaluronic acid but with better film-forming properties, making it ideal for dry and dehydrated skin.
• Skin Barrier Repair: Stimulates ceramide synthesis, reinforcing the skin’s lipid barrier and improving resilience against environmental stressors. Beneficial for eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis due to its soothing and reparative effects.
• Anti-Aging & Elasticity Enhancement: Promotes collagen and elastin production by providing a hydrated matrix for fibroblast activity. Reduces the appearance of fine lines by plumping the skin through sustained hydration.
• Hair Conditioning & Protection: Coats hair strands to reduce protein loss, prevent breakage, and enhance shine. Protects against heat damage and UV-induced degradation when used in leave-in treatments.
• Wound Healing & Tissue Regeneration: Supports fibroblast proliferation and granulation tissue formation, accelerating wound closure. Used in post-surgical gels and burn dressings due to its biocompatibility and hydrating effects.
