Why we use it

It provides deep hydration for softening the skin and protecting it from environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation, thus reducing premature aging. Its fructo-oligosaccharides attract and retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and supple, while promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms for overall skin health. Additionally, its chemical composition includes α-d-Glcp and (2 → 1)-linked β-d-Fruf residues, which possess antioxidant properties, safeguarding the skin against oxidative stress and environmental damage.
