How we scored it

Glycoside of xylitol + glucose, both plant-sugar-derived; condensation loses only water → 100% natural
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 by reacting plant-derived xylitol (from corn cob or wood xylose) with glucose from starch to form a glycoside.

In plain English

A moisture-binding ingredient made by joining two plant sugars, xylitol and glucose. Helps skin attract and hold water.
