Pro-xylane

Pro-xylane (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 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 can effectively promote the synthesis of collagen fibers and hyaluronic acid in the dermis. Pro-xylane is used in the field of anti-aging cosmetics to improve skin hydration and elasticity. Pro-xylane is eco-friendly and biodegradable[1][2][3][4].
