Skin Conditioning Agent, Emollient

Glycolipids

Glycolipids are hybrid molecules formed when a carbohydrate bonds with a lipid, and they occur naturally on the surface of plant and animal cells. In cosmetics, they are typically derived from renewable plant sources such as soy, corn, or sugarcane. They function primarily as skin conditioning agents, attracting moisture into the upper layers of the skin while reinforcing the natural lipid barrier.
