Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract

Saccharum Officinarum Extract is an extract derived from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L., Poaceae), with CAS # 91722-22-4. It is primarily used as a humectant, helping the skin attract and retain water. It has a close relationship to glycolic acid, which can be derived from sugarcane, leading to claims of exfoliating and brightening properties when used in combination with other acid-containing plant extracts.

● Benefits

Its primary established benefit is moisturization, functioning as a humectant to help skin attract and hold water. It is often combined with other acid-containing plant extracts (e.g., ACB Fruit Mix), where manufacturer data suggests some degree of cellular renewal, though this is not independently verified by research studies cited in the source.

● Cautions

Exfoliating and brightening claims are not backed by independent research studies according to the source; for proven exfoliating efficacy, pure acids (e.g., glycolic acid) are recommended instead.
