Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol

goodie

Also-called-like-this: Pro-Xylane

What-it-does: cell-communicating ingredient

Details

A "green chemical" developed by L'oreal in 2006. It comes from the sugar molecule, xylose that can be found in beechwood.

According to L'Oreal's claims, Pro-Xylane can boost the production of important skin-building blocks called GAGs (aka glycosaminoglycans, important NMFs) in the extracellular matrix (the goopy stuff between our skin cells) that results in better hydrated and firmer skin.
