What it does

Saccharide isomerate is a carbohydrate-based humectant derived from plant sugars. Unlike typical humectants, it forms a covalent bond with keratin in the skin, providing persistent moisture retention even after washing. Studies show it maintains hydration for up to 72 hours, making it particularly effective for dry and sensitive skin.
