Science & Benefits

Raffinose is a trisaccharide composed of galactose, fructose, and glucose. It acts as a high-efficiency humectant that prevents the denaturation of skin proteins during dehydration. It is entirely non-comedogenic and zero-irritant. In acne care, it provides a 'protective' hydration—forming a moisture-retaining shield that keeps the barrier intact while preventing the entry of environmental irritants into the pores.
