Saccharum Officinarum Extract
Definition
Saccharum Officinarum Extract, also known as sugarcane extract, is derived from the sugarcane plant. It serves as a multifunctional ingredient in skincare formulations. Firstly, it acts as a natural exfoliant due to its rich content of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), primarily glycolic acid. AHAs help gently remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Additionally, Saccharum Officinarum Extract contains natural moisturizing factors (NMFs), including amino acids, minerals, and polysaccharides. These NMFs help enhance skin hydration by attracting and retaining moisture, resulting in softer and more supple skin.
