Glucosylglycerol

Glucosylglycerol is a glycoside compound consisting of glycerol linked to glucose through glycosidic bonds. This compound exhibits remarkable moisturizing capabilities. Research has demonstrated that Glucosylglycerol with a 2-α configuration significantly enhances the expression of aquaporin AQP3, the protein crucial for maintaining water retention in skin epithelial cells. Furthermore, studies have confirmed Glucosylglycerol's excellent skin permeability, effectively reducing water loss. 2-αGG possesses numerous physiological activities, including activating and promoting cell regeneration, enhancing cell vitality and metabolism, boosting cellular antioxidant capacity, and promoting collagen synthesis. These characteristics make it a suitable ingredient for cosmetics. Additionally, 2-αGG exhibits non-cariogenic properties, may aid in diabetes management,

and supports the growth of probiotics, exhibiting its potential as a health food additive in the future.
