Glycoproteins
Glycoproteins are complex molecules composed of proteins bonded with carbohydrate chains, found naturally in the skin's extracellular matrix where they play a key role in cellular communication, tissue repair, and structural integrity. In skincare, glycoproteins are valued for their ability to support the skin's natural defense mechanisms, boost cellular oxygenation, and enhance the skin's resilience against environmental stress.
One of the most notable properties of glycoproteins in topical formulas is their capacity to increase cellular respiration — improving the skin's oxygen uptake and utilization at a cellular level. This supports more efficient energy production within skin cells, contributing to a visibly revitalized, more radiant complexion over time.
- Cellular oxygenation — boosts the skin's oxygen content and cellular respiration for a more energized, revitalized appearance
- Environmental defense — strengthens the skin's natural ability to protect itself against damaging environmental influences
- Skin renewal support — promotes healthy cellular function and supports the skin's natural repair processes
- Hydration support — contributes to moisture retention and overall skin comfort
