XYLOSE
Safety grade: A
Xylose is a natural sugar derived from wood or plants that helps skin retain moisture. It's similar to other sugars you might find in food, but used in tiny amounts in skincare products.
Xylose works as a humectant to draw water into the skin and keep it hydrated, while also improving the overall feel and texture of the product and conditioning the skin.
