Science & Benefits

Isomalt is a sugar alcohol (polyol) derived from beets. In skincare, it acts as a highly stable, non-sticky humectant that protects skin cells from osmotic stress. It is zero-comedogenic. Beyond hydration, it serves as a cryoprotectant for plant stem cell extracts in a formula. For acne patients, it provides a very 'clean' hydration feel, effectively drawing water into the skin without the tackiness associated with high-percentage glycerin or heavy polysaccharides.
