MoisturePlex™
$5.75 – $425.00Price range: $5.75 through $425.00 USD
MoisturePlex™ is an advanced blend of humectants infused with and inspired by the skin’s own Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). It delivers superior hydration, a smooth skin feel, and enhanced formulation aesthetics without the tackiness often associated with single humectants like glycerin.
INCI: Butylene Glycol, Sodium PCA, Betaine, Propanediol, Trehalose, Proline, Sodium Lactate, Glycerin, Water, Hyaluronic Acid, Sorbitol, Panthenol, Acetamidoethoxyethanol
MoisturePlex™ is a next-generation moisturizing complex that combines multiple humectants — many of which are naturally found in the skin — to provide balanced, long-lasting hydration. By mimicking the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF), MoisturePlex™ helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve water retention, and leave the skin feeling soft and supple.
The inclusion of Acetamidoethoxyethanol, a highly effective moisture-binding agent, further enhances hydration performance and skin feel. Unlike formulations that rely heavily on a single humectant, this optimized blend prevents stickiness while delivering a comfortable, silky finish. Its synergy of hydrating agents, including Sodium PCA, Betaine, Trehalose, Sodium Lactate, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Acetamidoethoxyethanol, works across multiple hydration pathways, supporting both immediate and long-term moisturization.
MoisturePlex™ is suitable for a wide variety of skincare, body care, and hair care products.
