RaffiMoist™ (Pure Raffinose)
a high molecular weight trisaccharide (a type of oligosaccharide or complex sugar) found in plants that’s utilized in cosmetics for its hydration benefits. It’s made up of galactose, glucose and fructose. Its large molecule size keeps it from penetrating past skin’s surface.
Raffinose is a high molecular weight trisaccharide (a type of oligosaccharide or complex sugar) found in plants that’s utilized in cosmetics for its hydration benefits. It’s made up of galactose, glucose and fructose. Its large molecule size keeps it from penetrating past skin’s surface.
Like many other saccharides, raffinose’s skin hydration benefits come from its humectant properties, drawing water to skin and then assisting skin in holding onto that moisture in a balanced fashion. Through this process, raffinose helps hydrate, resulting in plump, healthy-looking skin.
