The soluble fibers present in biogrape™ play an important role in moisture retention in cosmetic formulations due to their hygroscopic nature, meaning they attract and hold water molecules. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in hydrating products such as moisturizers, serums, and masks. When included in these products, the soluble fibers form a hydrophilic network within the formulation that acts as a reservoir for moisture. This network effectively captures and retains water molecules, maintaining the product’s moisture content. When applied to the skin, this network also provides a hydrating effect by slowly releasing moisture over time. The presence of total fatty acids in biogrape™ further enhances moisture retention by strengthening the skin’s lipid barrier, preventing water loss, and promoting long-lasting hydration. The total protein content contributes to skin hydration by improving the skin’s structural integrity and elasticity, ensuring it remains plump and supple. The fine particle size of biogrape™ (~P90=20 µm) ensures these beneficial components are evenly distributed and efficiently absorbed into the skin, optimizing their hydrating effects. This responsive and adaptive release ensures sustained hydration, keeping the skin moisturized for an extended period. Furthermore, this moisture-retaining property influences the texture and sensory feel of the product, resulting in a more luxurious, rich, and comforting application experience, making biogrape™ an essential ingredient for enhancing moisture retention in cosmetic formulations.
