How Pentavitin® Works in YourHappyLife Formulations
Integration: YourHappyLife incorporates Pentavitin® as plant-derived hydrator that binds to skin like a moisture magnet, ensuring deep, long-lasting hydration, suppleness, and comfortable, plump skin all day.
Binding Process:
-
Saccharide isomerate applied to skin surface
-
Penetrates stratum corneum via small molecular size
-
Undergoes Maillard reaction with lysine ε-amino groups in keratin
-
Forms covalent bonds with corneocyte proteins
-
Creates water-binding sites throughout epidermis
-
Attracts and retains moisture for 72+ hours
-
Removes only through natural desquamation
Result: Deep, lasting hydration not achievable with conventional humectants that wash off.
