Science & Benefits

Xylitol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) that functions as a powerful humectant and prebiotic. Beyond binding water, it has been clinically shown to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and biofilm formation, specifically Staphylococcus aureus. It is 100% non-comedogenic. For acne patients, it is a 'logic winner' because it hydrates while maintaining a healthy skin microbiome, making it harder for C. acnes to cause inflammation.
