At Aloderma, our farm-to-skin approach prioritizes transparency alongside the power of nature's finest ingredients. Today, we delve into Polyglycerin-3, a seemingly complex name that signifies a potent ally in our skincare arsenal.
Polyglycerin-3 is a synthetic humectant, meticulously crafted by combining three glycerol molecules. Glycerol, naturally occurring in plants and animal fats, is renowned for its hygroscopic properties – the ability to attract and retain moisture. However, standalone glycerol can be susceptible to rapid transepidermal water loss (TEWL), essentially evaporating from the skin's surface. Polyglycerin-3 addresses this limitation. Its larger molecular size creates a film on the skin, acting as an occlusive barrier. This film minimizes TEWL, allowing Polyglycerin-3 to function as a superior humectant, drawing and trapping atmospheric moisture for extended periods.
The scientific benefits translate to real-world results. Polyglycerin-3 effectively combats xerosis, the clinical term for dry skin. By promoting hydration, it plumps the skin, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, in-vitro studies suggest Polyglycerin-3 possesses anti-inflammatory properties, potentially mitigating irritation and redness. This aligns perfectly with our farm-to-skin ethos – harnessing scientifically proven ingredients that are gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types.
Experience the transformative power of Polyglycerin-3 firsthand in our hero products: the Aloe Brightening Cream, Aloe Firming Cream, and Aloe Firming Eye Cream. With Aloderma, you're not just indulging in luxurious skincare, you're embracing the marriage of science and farm-fresh goodness, for a visibly radiant and healthy complexion.
