Xylooligosaccharide (XOS, 95%)
High‑purity XOS (95%) prebiotic to support hydration and skin barrier.
Xylooligosaccharide (XOS, 95%) is a high‑purity prebiotic oligosaccharide obtained from plant xylan.
It supports a balanced skin microbiome, helping improve hydration, barrier function and comfort.
95% purity minimizes residual saccharides; designed for clear, consistent performance in leave‑on and rinse‑off formulas.
Product Description: Xylooligosaccharide (XOS) consists of short xylose chains derived from xylan. In cosmetic care it acts as a selective prebiotic, fostering beneficial skin microbes that in turn support barrier integrity and visible hydration. Literature reports improvements to moisturization, elasticity and comfort alongside reduced visible redness.
Usage: Serums, gels, lotions, creams, toners, masks, gentle cleansers.
