Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans
Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans are hydrolyzed forms of glycosaminoglycans, a family of long-chain polysaccharides found naturally in connective tissue. The hydrolysis process breaks them down into smaller fragments, improving their ability to penetrate and interact with skin. They are listed under CAS number 156715-51-4 and are recognized by CosIng for hair conditioning, humectant, and skin conditioning functions.
