The chemical name of glycerol glucoside is 2-O-α-D-glucopyranoyl glycerol, and from its name we know that it is formed by condensation of glycerol and glucose, and the dextrose is attached to the second hydroxyl group of glycerol, the second hydroxyl group, and dextrose, How do you get a lot of cheap glycerol glucosides on the market, that is, they just attach glycerol to glucose, and whether it's dextrose or not, and whether it's attached to any hydroxyl group, this so-called glycerol glucoside has no activity at all, it's just a humectant.
We can start from the following aspects.
One, look at its composition and content. If the ingredients contain a large amount of glycerin and other ingredients, and the glycerin glucoside content is not high, it can only be used as a humectant by regulating the moisturizing sensation with glycerin.
Two, look at how your skin feels. Glycerol glucosides exist as natural enantiomers. Its skin feels smooth, a little sticky, and has no heat. If you use it on your hands,
Third, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a direct and accurate method. However, it generally cannot be tested by third parties because it requires precise test conditions. Without this test condition, the results cannot be measured even by HPLC.
