Product Introduction

Fructose is a simple sugar, widely recognized as a natural ingredient in the cosmetic industry. It is predominantly found in fruits, honey, and root vegetables, making it a naturally derived component. Its role in cosmetic formulations is largely attributed to its moisturizing properties, which help enhance the overall texture and feel of skincare products. Fructose not only serves as a humectant but also plays a part in the formulation of various products aimed at improving skin hydration.

Production Process

Fructose is typically extracted through the hydrolysis of sucrose or derived from the enzymatic treatment of starch. This process allows for the conversion of starches found in plants into simple sugars like fructose. After extraction, the fructose is crystallized, filtered, and dried to achieve the final white crystalline form used in cosmetics. Quality testing is conducted to ensure purity and effectiveness before it is included in various formulations.

Efficacy and Function

Fructose is known for its ability to attract moisture, thus serving as a powerful humectant in cosmetics. It can hold significant amounts of water, promoting hydration in the skin. Additionally, it aids in enhancing the texture of products, making them more appealing for application. Fructose also serves to stabilize formulations and can improve the shelf life of products by preventing microbial growth.

Application Scenarios

Fructose is often used in moisturizers, serums, and creams designed to hydrate and soften the skin. It can also be found in products aimed at treating dry or sensitive skin, as it provides soothing and calming effects. Moreover, its use is not limited to skincare; it can also be incorporated into hair care products to promote moisture retention and manageability.
