Moisturization – Trehalose 100

Trehalose 100 is a naturally occurring, non-reducing disaccharide renowned for its ability to protect biological structures under desiccation stress. It plays a key role in moisture retention and cellular protection in plants and animals, and this regenerative capacity is now harnessed for cosmetic and personal care applications.

As a low-viscosity moisturizer, Trehalose 100 helps protect skin, hair, and oral tissues from dehydration while remaining stable under various temperature conditions. Its antioxidant-like function also contributes to the prevention of oil rancidity, extending the shelf-life of sensitive formulations.
