Glucosylglycerol belongs to the class of compatible solutes (osmolytes). It is a non-toxic, non-irritating protective osmolyte responsible for the osmotic adaptation of blue-green algae, rhizobacteria and Pseudomonas and also found in the drought-resistant resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia. Glucosylglycerol protects its host against osmotic stress, heat, desiccation and UV. Glucosylglycerol is an animal free and protein-free low molecular weight stabilizer which is an excellent cryoprotector for proteins in vitro, especially antibodies. In vitro models and skin models demonstrate strong activity of glucosylglycerol on aged and stressed skin cells with rejuvenating, recovering and radical scavenging properties. In vivo treatments confirm positive effects on increased skin elasticity, smoothness and thickness, the epidermis and dermis density regenerate with no irritating effects. It is used as a multifunctional anti-aging, cell-stimulating and skin moisturizing agent in cosmetics. This glucosylglycerol preparation is a 100% natural sugar derivative produced by an enzymatic reaction process. It is enantiopure and contains only the natural and functionally active isomer (2-alpha-GG), which is present in the desert resurrection plant Myrothamnus flabellifolia. - Natural chemical product.
