Glucose is a simple sugar and is the most important source of energy in all organisms. In skincare, glucose is used to hydrate the skin. It also acts as a prebiotic for our natural biome.

As a humectant, glucose draws moisture from the air and from deeper levels in the skin. This helps hydrate skin.

Our skin's natural microbiome contains many saccharides that act as prebiotics. These prebiotics help strengthen our skin's microbiome. Having a healthy microbiome helps protect our skin from harmful bacteria and other contaminants.

Studies show glucose may help with fading discoloration and pigmentation. This is because our skin metabolizes glucose into lactic acid. Lactic acid is an AHA that helps exfoliate the top layer of skin.

Plants and algae make glucose during the process of photosynthesis. It is then used to make cellulose, the building blocks of cell walls.

My perfect cleanser!
Best milky cleanser I've tried and the only one I'll repurchase from now on! It leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped, doesn't break me out, doesn't contain alcohol or essential oils, no irritation of any kind! Perfect for my dry/sensitive acne prone skin. I honestly don't think I'm gonna bother trying other cleansers I've found my holygrail! 💗
