Trehalose is a safe natural sugar, found in many desert plants, and can form a glass-like substance when dry, which can protect its interior, and when it rains, it will magically " dead" and resurrected, so it is called "the sugar of life". Medical cosmetology found that "trehalose" is an important ingredient to improve the effect of skin care products.

Safety issues of trehalose:

According to the country's acute toxicity level classification, alginose is a non-toxic grade/chromosomal aberration experiments show that alginose does not have mutagenic effects.

Application in the pharmaceutical industry:

As a good bioprotectant, it can maintain the stability of biofilms, proteins and other biomolecules and damaged tissues, reduce the toxicity of drugs to wound tissues, and as a stabilizer for drugs, it can prolong the shelf life of products.

What special effects does trehalose have?

1. Moisturizing and Repairing

Trehalose has a good moisturizing and repairing effect, has a good molecular weight, is easily absorbed by the skin, and can also be combined with other polysaccharides to form a protective film in the extracellular matrix, reduce the evaporation of water on the skin surface, and achieve moisturizing The purpose of emollient.

While effectively moisturizing the skin, it can also repair the skin's barrier, enhance the cell's anti-drying and anti-freezing capabilities, and enhance the skin's cold resistance.

2. Sunscreen

Trehalose also has a great role in preventing organisms from being damaged by radiation. Trehalose can effectively scavenge free radicals and prevent DNA mutation. DNA protective agent, repair agent, can effectively reduce the degree of damage.

Under the action of strong ultraviolet rays, a special protective film is formed on the skin to prevent sun exposure and reduce the deposition of melanin.

3. Anti-aging

Under extreme conditions, trehalose can also maintain the vitality of the human body, preventing the skin from producing melanin deposits and aging the skin.

The effect of trehalose on cosmetics:

1. Improve the stability of the product at low temperature. Trehalose can effectively reduce the freezing point in the water phase and improve the low temperature stability of the product.

Trehalose has good compatibility and stability, and can be combined with a variety of cosmetic ingredients for a variety of cosmetics. As far as cosmetics are concerned, the addition of trehalose has many effects, such as: lowering the freezing point, prolonging the shelf life, and preventing the decomposition of fat.

2. Prevention of protein degradation

Currently, many brands claim that their products contain active ingredients such as protein. Most of the active ingredients will not rot for a long time at room temperature. Trehalose inhibits protein-like activity and keeps it alive.

3. Improve the stability of "polyphenols"

The active components of polyphenols have good antioxidant properties, but they have strong activity and poor stability. Trehalose can improve the stability of polyphenol active substances in cosmetics, thereby reducing the failure of cosmetics and other problems. In many cosmetics, trehalose has a wide range of applications due to its moisturizing properties, skin-friendly properties and stability to active ingredients. Trehalose is a type of foundation, foundation cream, and makeup cream. Famous domestic and foreign brands such as Versace and Cao Mu Nian Hua have added trehalose to some products and promoted it as the main active ingredient. In general, its application prospect is very broad.
