Pro-xylane (30% in water)

Pro-xylane (30% in water) (Hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol) is a bioactive C-glycoside that targets the biosynthesis pathway of glycosaminoglycans/mucopolysaccharides (GAGs) in the skin matrix and can be absorbed transdermally. Pro-xylane (30% in water) stimulates the biosynthesis of GAGs in fibroblasts, enhances the structural stability of the skin extracellular matrix, improves skin elasticity and moisturizing ability, and delays wrinkle formation. Pro-xylane (30% in water) can effectively promote the synthesis of collagen fibers and hyaluronic acid in the dermis. Pro-xylane (30% in water) is used in the field of anti-aging cosmetics to improve skin hydration and elasticity. Pro-xylane (30% in water) is eco-friendly and biodegradable[1][2][3][4].
