Disodium Acetyl GlucDisodium Acetyl Glucosamine Phosphateosamine Phosphate description

Disodium acetyl glucosamine phosphate is a lab-created skin conditioning ingredient. As of this writing, there is no independent research showing its benefit for skin. According to its manufacturer, disodium acetyl glucosamine phosphate works by supporting glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), a group of components within skin tissue that includes chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid. These aid hydration, help maintain water balance within skin’s uppermost layers, and help give skin a smooth feel and plumped appearance. Supplied in a blend with glycerin, usage levels of disodium acetyl glucosamine phosphate range from 0.4–6%.
