Product Overview

Glypure® effectively penetrates skin cells, stimulating cellular activity in cosmetic formulations. As an anti-aging agent, it provides triple-action benefits by hydrating the stratum corneum to alleviate dryness and flakiness, regulating epidermal water levels for smoother, softer, and more radiant skin, and enhancing dermal matrix production and collagen synthesis to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin elasticity and firmness. In hair care formulations, Glypure improves heat resistance, enhances manageability and softness, and provides intensified moisturization, leading to healthier-looking hair
