What it does
A corn-derived humectant and solvent with effective water-retention properties that enhances skin hydration and improves product texture. As an humectant ingredient, it is particularly valued for effective water-retention properties prevent moisture loss, provides smooth, silky feel to formulations, and enhances spreadability of cosmetic products.
Skin type guide
Works across all skin types, but is especially beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Oily skin types also benefit — proper hydration helps regulate sebum production.
How to use it
Apply to slightly damp skin to maximise moisture retention — humectants work by drawing water to the skin, so they need a water source to pull from. Use early in your routine, before heavier creams or oils.
