About Alpha-Glucan

Alpha-Glucan is a cyclic polysaccharide formed through the activity of starch branching enzymes.[1] The moisturization and spreadability of finished products containing Alpha-Glucan may vary with the concentration used and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to attract water to the formula and skin’s surface to help maintain moisturization, and to leave the skin’s surface feeling soft and smooth.[2]
