2. Product Introduction

Glucosylglycerol (GG, commercial name Glycoin) is the core anti-stress active ingredient extracted from Myrothamnus flabellifolia (resurrection plant). It has become a top trending premium alternative raw material for international skincare, cosmeceutical and functional food industries in recent years.

Our product is synthesized via bio-enzymatic catalytic technology, featuring stable purity, zero chemical residues and low irritant impurities.
Many low-cost substitutes on the market are heavily diluted with glycerin and polyols, which lead to hot skin feel, short-lasting moisturization and no repairing benefits. Our high-purity glucosylglycerol consists of high-concentration active substances, delivering deep long-lasting hydration and superior safety performance, making it an ideal upgrade replacement for ordinary glycerin and low-grade moisturizers.

3. Identification Standards for High-Quality Raw Materials

Formulators and overseas buyers attach great importance to raw material authenticity. You can distinguish product quality via three simple standards:

3.1 Pure active content without dilution

High-quality glucosylglycerol contains sufficient active ingredients. Inferior products carry minimal active GG and merely rely on glycerin for temporary hydration, resulting in poor long-term formulation stability.

3.2 Smooth texture without burning sensation

Pure Glycoin offers silky smooth touch with slight soft tackiness, no hot feeling on skin. If samples bring obvious burning and sticky feeling after application, they are blended with massive cheap glycerin.

3.3 Accurate HPLC testing & third-party inspection available

Glucosylglycerol requires exclusive testing conditions, which most third-party labs lack.
We own mature dedicated HPLC testing system. Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided for every batch, supporting third-party testing worldwide. Test reports can be used for customs clearance and product registration.

4. Core Product Advantages for Formulation Upgrading

4.1 Small molecule for deep, long-lasting moisturization

With a molecular weight of only 254.23, it penetrates the epidermis to the dermis, activates AQP3 aquaporins and significantly reduces Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).
Compared with ordinary glycerin, it delivers longer-lasting hydration without rapid evaporation, improving dryness, roughness, fine lines and dull complexion effectively.

4.2 Barrier repair & soothing for sensitive skin & cosmeceuticals

It owns natural cell-protective activity to stabilize skin barrier, relieve redness and itchiness, and strengthen skin tolerance.
It can be compounded with ceramides and natural moisturizing factors for post-procedure repairing, chronic dry skin and sensitive skincare formulas.

4.3 Low toxicity & wide application range

Free from genotoxic risks caused by glycerin with mild irritation;
Widely applicable in cosmetics, baby care, biological cell cryoprotectant and functional food with high safety compliance.

4.4 Create differentiated products & boost brand premium

Hyaluronic acid only hydrates the skin surface and faces severe homogenization competition.
Glucosylglycerol integrates moisturizing, repairing, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and prebiotic effects. It is the core differentiated raw material for overseas brands to launch high-end skincare lines.
