Questions And Answer

• cosmetic ingredient

  Pro-Xylane is a cosmetic ingredient used mainly as an anti-ageing agent in skin creams. Produced by Chimex, its chemical structure is derived from the xylose, a natural component of glycosaminoglycans and of hemicellulose. Pro-Xylane is produced in a two-steps process: 1) The reaction of xylose and acetylacetone in water, then 2) the hydrogenation of the intermediate.;

• Physical Form

  Powder;

• Cosmetics Application

  Pro-Xylane is a biochemical which induces neo-synthesis of matrix proteins. It is a biologically active C-glycoside in aqueous media, acts as an activator of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) biosynthesis. Pro-xylane is the first example of 'Green' chemical used in cosmetic.
  Pro-Xylane is an ingredient originally developed by Lancome in 2006. According to research, it is a sugar-protein hybrid made from xylose, a sugar found abundantly in beech trees and known to stimulate the production of glycoaminoglycans (GAGs), molecules responsible for defending the skin against water loss.;

• function

  Pro-Xylane is a sugar-molecule derived from the beech wood tree utilizing green chemistry. It functions, in vitro, by stimulating the production of proteoglycans, a water-absorbing molecule in human reconstructed skin.;
