How we scored it
Plant sugars (glucose/fructose from corn or wheat starch) rearranged by isomerisation → 100% natural, no atoms added
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.
Where it comes from
Made from corn or wheat starch hydrolysate sugars that are isomerised into a mix of natural saccharides mimicking skin's own sugars.
In plain English
A blend of plant sugars rearranged to resemble the natural moisturising sugars found in skin. Made from corn or wheat starch, helping to hydrate and soften skin.
CosIng definition: Saccharides, isomerised
