Ingredient Info

Trehalose is a naturally occurring sugar (disaccharide) used in skincare products for its stabilizing and protective properties. It helps preserve the integrity of skin cells and other ingredients, particularly when exposed to environmental stressors like heat or dryness.



Benefits

  • Helps stabilize and protect skin cells from damage
  • May improve skin barrier function and reduce moisture loss
  • Supports ingredient stability in formulations

Science: Trehalose is widely recognized in biopharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for its cryoprotective and stabilizing properties. While peer-reviewed evidence specifically for topical skincare benefits is limited, research demonstrates its effectiveness as a cellular protectant and its ability to enhance the uptake and efficacy of other beneficial compounds in tissues.
