Product Description
Pentavitin Saccharide Isomerate is produced by controlled isomerization of plant-derived glucose into a mixture of skin-identical mono- and oligosaccharides. This carbohydrate complex has a strong affinity for amino groups in keratin, allowing it to bind to the skin surface and help maintain moisture balance over an extended period.
In emulsions, gels, serums and cleansing systems, this ingredient improves immediate skin hydration and supports a smoother appearance. It is particularly beneficial in formulas designed for dry, sensitive, or barrier-damaged skin, as well as in products frequently exposed to surfactants or alcohol (for example, hand sanitizers and daily cleansers).
The product is supplied as a stable, buffered aqueous solution, easy to incorporate in cold or warm processing at the final phase of formulation.
Applications
1. Facial & Body Skin Care
- Moisturizing creams and lotions for dry and sensitive skin
- Hydrating serums, ampoules and essence formulations
- Eye creams and targeted treatment products
- Masks (wash-off and leave-on), sleeping masks, sheet mask essences
2. Cleansing & Hand Care
- Mild facial cleansers and micellar gels
- Shower gels and body washes to reduce post-wash tightness
- Hand creams and barrier-repair creams
- Hand sanitizers and disinfectant gels to compensate for drying alcohol
3. Sun Care & After-Sun
- Daily sunscreens and BB/CC creams with added hydration
- After-sun lotions and gels to soothe dryness caused by UV exposure
4. Hair & Scalp Care
- Leave-on conditioners and hair masks for improved feel and shine
- Scalp serums and tonics to help reduce dryness and tightness
Typical Use Levels
- Leave-on products: 1.0 – 5.0%
- Rinse-off products: 0.2 – 1.0%
(The exact dosage should be optimized in your own formulation trials.)

Storage Conditions
- Store in original, tightly closed container.
- Recommended storage temperature: 15 – 30°C.
- Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and strong oxidizing agents.
- Avoid freezing. If crystallization or phase separation occurs due to low temperature, warm the container gently (e.g. to 40°C) and mix thoroughly until uniform.
- Under recommended storage conditions, the shelf life is 24 months from production date.
Safety Precautions
- This product is generally considered low-hazard and is widely used in cosmetic applications.
- Avoid direct contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
- Avoid prolonged skin contact with the undiluted raw material; use suitable protective gloves if necessary when handling large quantities.
- Do not ingest. If swallowed, rinse mouth with water and seek medical advice if any discomfort occurs.
- Ensure good industrial hygiene practices:
- Use in a well-ventilated area
- Wash hands after handling
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Final cosmetic products containing this ingredient should be tested for stability and skin compatibility according to local regulations.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is Saccharide Isomerate CAS 100843-69-4?
A: Saccharide Isomerate is a plant-derived carbohydrate complex produced by isomerizing sugars such as D-glucose. In cosmetics it is supplied mainly as an aqueous solution, typically around 50% active, and is known for its long-lasting skin-hydration effect. -
Q:
How does Saccharide Isomerate hydrate the skin?
A: It binds to keratin in the stratum corneum and acts like the skin's natural carbohydrate complex. This creates a moisture reservoir that can help maintain hydration for an extended period, often described as up to 72 hours, rather than only providing short-term water attraction. -
Q:
How is Saccharide Isomerate different from Glycerin?
A: Glycerin mainly attracts water through hygroscopicity. Saccharide Isomerate is designed to bind more persistently to keratin and support the skin's natural moisturizing function, which gives a longer-lasting hydration benefit and a different sensory profile. -
Q:
Can Saccharide Isomerate be used in cold-process formulations?
A: Yes. It is water-soluble and stable under typical cosmetic processing conditions. It can be added to the aqueous phase of cold- or hot-process emulsions, gels, toners, serums, and rinse-off products. -
Q:
What are the main cosmetic applications and use levels?
A: It is used in creams, lotions, serums, masks, cleansers, toners, body care, and hair care. Typical use levels are around 1-5% in leave-on products and 0.2-1% in rinse-off products, depending on the desired hydration benefit. -
Q:
What should be checked when sourcing Saccharide Isomerate?
A: Confirm active content, appearance, pH, color, preservative status, heavy metals, and microbial limits. Store it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and use appropriate liquid-handling controls.
