About

A sugar-like structural molecule that helps the skin surface hold water and stay cushioned.

Glycosaminoglycan-type ingredients such as heparan or chondroitin derivatives are used for hydration and skin feel because they bind water and support a smoother surface. These large, highly polar molecules are not expected to penetrate deeply and generally have a low irritation profile in cosmetics. With clean sourcing, they sit comfortably in the high-safety group.
