Sugar

INCI NAME: Sucrose

β-D-Fructofuranosyl α-D-glucopyranoside

Sugar is a natural humectant derived from sugarcane or sugar beet, known for its gentle yet effective exfoliating properties. In skincare, it helps remove dead skin cells while drawing moisture into the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and hydrated. Thanks to its fine texture and natural origin, sugar is a favourite in physical exfoliants designed to nourish as they polish.
