The function and efficacy of glycerol glucoside

⁣Glycerol glucoside is a glycoside compound formed by the connection of glycerol and glucose molecules through glycosidic bonds. It is the main active ingredient of Melastomataceae (resurrection grass), which can activate the cells of Melastomataceae in long-term dry environments, giving it new life. It is essential for Melastomataceae to survive in long-term dry environments. In addition, glycerol glucoside can also be produced by blue-green algae and other sources.

Moisturizing: Glucosamine promotes the synthesis of aquaporins, maintains osmotic balance, and brings the necessary moisture to skin cells. Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane proteins that can selectively introduce or export moisture into and out of cells. AQP3 or AQP5 are mainly present in the epidermis of the skin. For example, AQP3 is used for transporting water and glycerol;

Improving skin barrier: promoting the regeneration of NMF (silk fibroin), which is further processed into amino acids in the upper stratum corneum of the epidermis to help the skin retain moisture. It is a protein that plays an important role in the formation of the skin barrier;

Anti inflammatory: can reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as SCF, accelerate wound healing and tissue repair;

Protecting collagen: Collagen degrading enzyme (MMP1) is an enzyme that can cleave the triple helix structure of collagen, which is produced in large quantities during skin inflammation. Controlling the activity of MMP1 and removing it is particularly important for anti-aging.
