dryness is more significant than in untreated skin. In comparison, the sanitiser formulation with 1% Saccharide Isomerate was shown both to fully prevent the development of skin dryness and to improve hydration levels when compared to untreated skin.
Conclusion With growing numbers of consumers now using hand sanitisers with an alcohol content of 70% as part of their daily routines, concerns about dry skin conditions are also on the rise. Both these trends are expected to continue for some time, as we emerge from the global COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we can also expect to see an increase in demand for products that can eliminate germs at the same time as maintaining skin barrier health and hydrating the skin. DSM’s study has shown that adding its

bioactive, Saccharide Isomerate, to a 70% alcohol-based sanitiser boosts skin hydration by 9% after one hour of use and 14% after three hours. This demonstrates moisturising care and hygiene can go hand in hand. Pentavitin® (INCI: Saccharide Isomerate) is a 100% natural bioactive, sustainably produced using sugar isomerization technology. It is made by transforming edible kernel corn sugars into a unique, skin-identical carbohydrate complex, similar to the natural moisturising factor found in the human stratum corneum. By mimicking essential molecules found in skin’s NMF, this bioactive locks in moisture,
