As a high-quality multifunctional moisturizer widely used in various cosmetic formulation systems, meeting diverse skincare needs for different products.

Analyzing market trends, Acetyl Glucosamine is not only used in skincare products but is also gradually being incorporated into high-end beauty and premium hair care products.
Function Principles
(1) High-quality moisturization
Acetyl Glucosamine exhibits excellent transdermal absorption, promoting skin hydration, and acts as an effective moisturizer.
(2) Reduction of melanin synthesis
Acetyl Glucosamine can inhibit tyrosinase maturation, thereby reducing melanin synthesis. In particular, its synergistic action with niacinamide can reduce local pigment deposition, lighten skin blemishes, and effectively even out skin tone.
(3) Stimulating hyaluronic acid synthesis
Acetyl Glucosamine can enhance the activity of Hyaluronic Acid Synthase (HAS), promoting the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and increasing the hyaluronic acid content within the skin.
(4) Natural exfoliation regulation
Acetyl Glucosamine can promote the normalization of glycoprotein metabolism on the surface of corneocytes, resulting in the formation and shedding of small natural scales in the outermost stratum corneum, thereby playing a role in natural keratin regulation.
(5) Free radical scavenging
It reduces the damage caused by free radicals, exhibiting anti-wrinkle and anti-aging properties while enhancing the skin tissue's repair capabilities.
(6) Ingredient stability allows its application in a variety of skincare and beauty products, including serums, toners, creams, eye creams, and foundations. It can also be combined with various other ingredients and is often paired with niacinamide, arbutin, vitamin A, vitamin C, salicylic acid, and kojic acid to achieve moisturizing and skin-brightening effects.
