Saccharide Isomerate Plus

Skin Care

Saccharide Isomerate Plus boosts the Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) of the skin and stimulates the synthesis of ceramides.

It improves and strengthens the skin barrier function and studies have shown that it gives deep hydration that lasts for 72 hours. In creams, lotions, gels and serums, it leaves the skin feeling soothed, hydrated and cared for, alleviating feelings of dryness, taut skin, itching and flaking. This is beneficial for all skin types but especially in products for dry skin, sensitive skin, mature skin and anti aging creams, lotions and serums.

In cleansers and treatment masks, it has a unique skin identical carbohydrate structure that allows it to bind with the skin so that even when the product has been rinsed off, the effects of Saccharide Isomerate Plus are still working in the skin keeping it hydrated, soothed and more resilient.

Reduces the potential for irritation in AHA peeling gels and face masks.

Excellent to use in hand creams for nurses and hairdressers who use soaps and detergents frequently.

Highly effective in foot creams as it binds to the hard skin to hydrate it.

Other

Use 0.2% to 5%.

For skincare products, use 1% to 5%.

In a body wash, we suggest using 1% as it is a rinse off product. As little as 0.2%-0.5% can boost the foaming action of a body wash.

For hair care products, use 1% in a shampoo and 1% in conditioners and treatment packs as they are both rinse off products.

Use 1% in an alcohol based hand sanitiser with 70% strength Ethanol Alcohol. (Do not use more than 80% Ethanol Alcohol in your formula as this will destabilise the Saccharide Isomerate Plus).

Water soluble so cannot be used in oil only products.

Heat stable up to 60°C so we recommend adding it in Stage 3 (cool down stage) when making creams and lotions.

It is stable in a finished product pH range of 3 to 6.5.

As this product contains no preservative, it is prone to contamination if handled carelessly. Store it in the ‘fridge if you can and never leave the bottle open whilst you are working.
