Saccharum Officinarum Extract

Saccharum Officinarum Extract is derived from sugar cane stalks and is particularly valued for its naturally occurring glycolic acid content, making it a gentle source of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) for exfoliation. The extract also contains natural sugars, minerals, and polyphenols that provide humectant properties and antioxidant benefits. Formulators choose this ingredient as a botanical alternative to synthetic glycolic acid, offering both exfoliating and moisturizing benefits while appealing to consumers seeking plant-based actives in their skincare products.
