AA2G™ is a vitamin C stabilized with glucose (labeled as Ascorbyl Glucoside), which generates a stable bioactive vitamin C derivate. It reduces melanin activity and provides brightness. AA2G^TM enhances collagen synthesis while maintaining skin elasticity. It has powerful antioxidant activity.

Alpha Glucosyl Hesperidin is a highly soluble bioflavonoid from fruit peels. It increases blood flow and recovers skin surface temperature. Prevents hair loss and provides brightening.

GLUCOSYL NARINGIN is a natural citrus-derived ingredient that promotes elastin fiber formation to preserve skin elasticity and firmness.

TREHALOSE 100 is a natural disaccharide that consists of two glucose molecules bond by α-1,1 glycosidic linkage. It protects skin and hair from damage. It also provides excellent moisturizing properties.

MG-60 is a starch-derived carbohydrate, comprising of maltooligosyl glucoside and hydrogenated starch hydrolysate. It is a multifunctional ingredient that imparts a smooth skin texture while protecting skin from irritation, inflammation and promoting moisture retention all while improving foam to deliver a fine, long-lasting and rich lather with a luxuriant after-feel.
 
In oral care, MG-60’s low cariogenicity and soothing effects on the irritation caused by SDS make it especially suitable for toothpastes, enhancing protecting actions while being gentle to teeth and gums.
 
These unique characteristics make it the ideal addition to an array of cleansing products for skin, body, hair, and oral care.

Pullulan is a polysaccharide made from starch, produced by fermentation, consisting of maltotriose units. It is an excellent lubricant and adhesive with film-forming properties. It does not modify the viscosity of the final product, and improves foam retention.

Extremosio™ consists of plurilamellar liposomes loaded with trehalose, a natural disaccharide that activates autophagy. Skin autophagy is a naturally occurring detoxification process through which damaged cellular constituents are degraded and continuously renewed. With age the flow of autophagy renewal slows down. Its activation by Extremosio™ promotes replacement of damaged skin proteins. In addition, the renewal of melanosomes promotes a homogeneous skin color distribution.
