Science & Benefits

Polydextrose is a synthetic polymer of glucose. It acts as a powerful, non-glycemic humectant that binds moisture to the stratum corneum. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. In formulation, it helps improve the 'body' and texture of oil-free products. For acne-prone users, it offers a sophisticated way to achieve a rich, luxurious product feel in a strictly water-based vehicle that cannot trigger follicular blockage.
