About this ingredient

Glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) derived from corn, grapes, or other plant sources. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as a humectant and skin conditioning agent, drawing moisture into the skin and providing hydration. It also acts as a reducing sugar that can support skin barrier function and improve overall skin softness.
