What is it?

Dextran is a complex polysaccharide composed of glucose molecules, used in skincare primarily as a viscosity-controlling agent, stabilizer, and skin-conditioning ingredient. It is known for its ability to contribute to the texture and consistency of skincare products while also providing hydrating and soothing benefits. Dextran can also serve as an agent for active ingredients, which can contribute to their absorption and efficacy in skincare formulations.

Information

Dextran is a complex polysaccharide composed of glucose molecules, used in skincare primarily as a viscosity-controlling agent, stabilizer, and skin-conditioning ingredient. It is known for its ability to contribute to the texture and consistency of skincare products while also providing hydrating and soothing benefits. Dextran can also serve as an agent for active ingredients, which can contribute to their absorption and efficacy in skincare formulations.

Where does it come from?

Dextran is derived from natural sources through the fermentation process. These ferments convert sucrose, a type of sugar found in plants, into dextran. The resulting polysaccharide is then purified for use in cosmetic and skincare formulations. Dextran’s natural origin and compatibility with other ingredients make it a popular choice in various skincare products.

What are the benefits?

GENTLE SOOTHING HYDRATING

What are the benefits?

  • Hydrating: Can lock in moisture, providing a plumping and hydrating effect.
  • Soothing: Offers calming properties that can minimize redness and irritation in sensitive skin.
  • Product Stability: Acts as a stabilizer, enhancing the texture and consistency of formulations.
  • Absorption: Contributes to the absorption of active ingredients.
  • Non-Irritating: Suitable for use in products designed for sensitive skin due to its gentle nature.

How is it used in our products?

Dextran is used in Serum Hydroxytyrosol Skin Tint from OLIVE ROSE.  It is included for its ability to stabilize the texture and contribute viscosity while providing a smooth and even application. Its hydrating and soothing properties target sensitivity and irritation.
