Functions
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Fructose was first isolated from honey and fruits in the late 18th century. Its use in cosmetics is modern, functioning as a humectant and sweetener in formulations, with no significant traditional skincare history.
