Saccharide Isomerate CAS 100843-69-4

Saccharide Isomerate (CAS 100843-69-4), chemically identified as a bio-mimetic carbohydrate complex, is a highly effective moisture-binding agent employed in skin care hydration formulations. This viscous aqueous solution, technically derived from the isomerization of plant-based D-glucose, functions as a substantive humectant that mimics the natural carbohydrate fraction of the stratum corneum, ensuring prolonged moisture retention in creams, serums, and rinse-off products. We provide bulk supply of this cosmetic grade ingredient with competitive factory pricing to empower personal care brands with high-performance actives. Our production standards ensure microbiological purity, making MSDS, TDS, COA available alongside customized specifications to align with clean beauty formulation requirements.

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:

    How does the chemical mechanism of Saccharide Isomerate (CAS 100843-69-4) differ from standard Glycerin?

    A: Unlike Glycerin which works primarily through passive water attraction (hygroscopy), Saccharide Isomerate chemically binds to the epsilon-amino groups of keratin in the skin, creating a moisture reservoir that resists wash-off and provides hydration that lasts significantly longer.
  • Q:

    Is this ingredient compatible with cold-process manufacturing in cosmetic formulations?

    A: Yes, Saccharide Isomerate is highly stable and water-soluble, making it intended for easy incorporation into the aqueous phase of both hot and cold-process formulations without losing its functional efficacy.
