Science & Benefits

Arabinose is a plant-derived pentose sugar often found in hemicellulose. Beyond its excellent water-binding properties, it has been shown to modulate the skin's glycosylation processes, potentially interfering with glycation (the hardening of collagen fibers). It is entirely non-comedogenic and serves as a 'structural' humectant, helping to maintain the elasticity and suppleness of the stratum corneum. It is an ideal active for maintaining barrier integrity in acne-prone skin without any risk of follicular weight.
