Per chi
Descrizione
Dextran is a plant-free, sugar-based polysaccharide made from glucose units, usually produced by fermentation. In skincare, it’s valued more for its texture and support roles than as a headline active. It can help formulas feel smoother, improve slip, and support a more elegant, cushiony finish. Depending on the product, dextran may also be used to help stabilize ingredients or deliver them more evenly across the skin.
For skin, dextran is often included in hydrating, soothing, or eye-area products because it can help formulas feel comfortable and less tacky. It’s also used in some hair products to improve spreadability and conditioning feel without adding heaviness. People with dry, sensitive, or easily irritated skin may appreciate it when it’s part of a well-formulated product, since it’s generally considered low-fuss and compatible with many routines.
Caveat: dextran is not a dramatic treatment ingredient on its own, so don’t expect it to replace proven hydrators or actives. Its benefits depend heavily on the full formula, concentration, and what it’s paired with. As with any ingredient, individual tolerance can vary, so patch testing is sensible if you’re very reactive.
