About this ingredient

Glucosamine HCl is a naturally derived amino sugar sourced from crustacean shells or produced via fermentation. In cosmetics, it functions as a humectant and skin conditioning agent that supports skin hydration and may promote skin firmness and elasticity by supporting the skin's natural moisture barrier and potentially stimulating hyaluronic acid production.
