Skin humectants refer to substances designed to increase the moisture content in the upper layers of the skin, promoting hydration and suppleness. According to their origin, skin humectants can be classified into natural and synthetic categories. According to their molecular size, humectants for skin can be divided into small and large molecules, influencing their penetration and retention abilities differently. “Skin humectants" on ECHEMl mainly supplies raw materials for formulating effective humectant products.

More Information

The moisture content of the stratum corneum must be maintained between 10% and 30%. Below 10% can lead to dry skin conditions, while above 30% can result in excessive hydration, both of which are detrimental to the health of the stratum corneum.

The principles of moisturizing products are the same, including four basic principles: occlusion, humectants, hydrophilic matrix, and photoprotection. Occlusion involves trapping moisture in the skin, creating an environment conducive to barrier repair. Humectants are substances that can absorb water like sponges. Hydrophilic matrix is a protective film covering the outside of the stratum corneum to reduce water evaporation. Photoprotection involves adding active ingredients, such as antioxidants and sunscreens, to moisturizing products.

Common humectants include:

•Glycerin

•Sodium lactate

•Urea

•Propylene glycol
