Advantages of Our Glucosylglycerol (CAS 22160-26-5):
◆ Ultra-high purity & isomer control: Tested by HPLC area normalization, the natural purity of the active ingredient (2-αGG) reaches 98.3% – 99.1%. It significantly outperforms conventional enzymatically synthesized competitors (~87.6%) and chemical alternatives that yield mostly the 1-αGG isomer, ensuring maximum biological efficacy.
◆ Excellent formula performance & sensory profile: Free glycerin is strictly restricted to ≤1.0% (actual test: 0.43%), while residual glucose and fructose are completely undetected (ND). This eliminates the heavy, sticky skin feel commonly caused by sugar residues in competitor brands, providing a refreshing, moderately viscous, and premium texture.
◆ Pleasant odor experience: Unlike standard enzymatically synthesized products on the market that carry an unpleasant characteristic odor, UltraMoist features a highly refined, user-friendly odor profile. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for high-end cosmetic and personal care formulations without masking agents.
◆ Outstanding safety & compliance: The product poses no known toxic effects upon skin contact or ingestion, is non-irritating, and contains no carcinogenic components. It is not listed in China's Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals, making it a safe, compliant, and non-hazardous ingredient for global shipping and manufacturing.

Description Of Glucosylglycerol CAS 22160-26-5
Glucosylglycerol (CAS No. 22160-26-5), with the chemical formula C9H18O8, is a colorless to pale yellow, viscous transparent liquid. It remains highly stable under ambient conditions and is highly hydrophilic, meaning it is completely miscible and readily mixes with water, which grants it great versatility in aqueous formulations. Its unique molecular structure imparts exceptional biological activity and formulation performance.
As a highly refined compound, it features a very low and user-friendly odor profile. Its active isomer (2-O-(α-D-Glucopyranosyl) glycerol) boasts an ultra-high natural purity of 98.3% to 99.1%. With negligible residues of free glycerol, glucose, and fructose, it entirely eliminates the heavy and sticky skin feel commonly caused by sugar impurities, making it a critical and premium raw material in chemical and personal care synthesis.
Applications Of Glucosylglycerol CAS 22160-26-5
◆ Premium Cosmetic Raw Material: Functions as a core humectant and skin conditioner extensively used in high-end personal care products, such as toners, serums, creams, and facial masks. It efficiently upregulates the expression of aquaporin-3 (AQP3) in skin cells, enhancing cell vitality and providing profound, long-lasting deep hydration.
◆ Cell Repair & Anti-Aging Agent: Utilizing its highly pure, natural isomer structure, it serves as a powerful bio-active agent to revitalize aging cells, stimulate skin metabolism, and fight against environmental aging, providing key functional building blocks for barrier-repair and anti-aging formulations.
◆ Refreshing Formulation Matrix: Since residual fructose and glucose are completely undetected, and free glycerin is strictly restricted to ≤1.0% (actual test at 0.43%), it acts as an excellent formulation matrix to optimize sensory texture, ensuring a lightweight, fresh, and non-sticky feel even at high active concentrations.
◆ Safe Topical Preparation Ingredient: Bearing no known toxicity, irritation, or carcinogenic risks, it fully complies with stringent international safety standards. It can be safely incorporated as a natural cell-activating, soothing, and protective agent in specialized topical preparations and luxury hair/body care products.
