What's the Pro-Xylane and the Benefits of Pro-Xylane in the skincare products

Pro-Xylane, INCI name is Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol, which was first developed by L'Oreal as an anti-aging active substance. It is actually a glycoprotein mixture of xylose extracted from beech trees, with anti-aging effects.

Benefits of Pro-Xylane

Studies have shown that Pro-Xylane has the following main effects:
Help the skin absorb other ingredients: Pro-Xylane is a non-ionic surfactant with significant dispersing and emulsifying abilities, which can help other active ingredients better enter the skin and be absorbed by the skin. In early cosmetics, Pro-Xylane was mainly used as an auxiliary ingredient.
Promote the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs): GAGs are components of the extracellular matrix of the human body, supporting our skin and keeping it firm and plump. With age, the synthesis rate of GAGs in the skin will gradually decrease, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. Pro-Xylane can promote the synthesis of GAGs and indirectly increase the production of dermal collagen, thereby improving skin elasticity, increasing firmness, and fading fine lines.
Promote collagen synthesis: Pro-Xylane can also promote the synthesis of type IV and type VI collagen. These two types of collagen are the key components connecting the dermis and epidermis. By promoting the synthesis of these two types of collagen, Pro-Xylane can strengthen the connection between the dermis and the epidermis, improve skin sagging, and reduce wrinkles.
