Description

Glucosylurea is a specialized carbohydrate derivative formed from glucose and urea, offering unique properties as a humectant and protein cross-linking agent. Its value lies in its ability to modify texture, retain moisture, and enhance stability in complex formulations. This makes it a critical component for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries seeking advanced functional ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a highly effective humectant and moisturizing agent in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners and treatments to improve hair hydration, manageability, and shine.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a stabilizing agent and moisture regulator in topical ointments and certain solid dosage forms.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a reagent in studies involving protein modification and glycation processes.
• Advanced Material Science: Investigated for use in creating bio-based polymers and hydrogels with specific water-binding characteristics.

Quality Control

Our Glucosylurea is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption.
