Trehalose

TrehaloseHydrator

A plant- and microbe-derived sugar that binds water and is known for helping cells weather dehydration — a gentle humectant.

What it does

Trehalose is a naturally occurring sugar that holds water especially well; in nature it helps some organisms survive drying out. In skincare it works as a humectant, drawing and retaining moisture for a hydrated, comfortable feel. It is mild and pairs well with other humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid.
