Tremoist - Trehalose

Trehalose is a naturally occurring non‐reducing disaccharide that has been shown to exert multiple protective effects when applied topically. Its benefits stem largely from its unique ability to stabilize proteins and lipid membranes, protect cells from desiccation and oxidative stress, and even modulate autophagy. Here are some of the key topical benefits supported by research

INCI: Trehalose

Solubility: Water

Use rate: 1.0 – 5.0%

Temperature Sensitivity: Avoid temperatures above 60°C

pH Stability: 3.5 – 8.0
