Intro
C-MO 2G™ – GLYCERYL GLUCOSIDE FOR ADVANCED SKIN & INTIMATE CARE
C-mo 2G™ is a multifunctional glucoside derived by binding glucose to glycerin. This stable and highly versatile molecule is inspired by nature, where glyceryl glucosides are found in stress-resilient species such as the resurrection plant (Myrothamnus flabellifolia) - a botanical marvel native to the arid regions of southern Africa - as well as in cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). These organisms accumulate glyceryl glucosides as a survival strategy against extreme dehydration and salinity.
Interestingly, glyceryl glucosides also occur naturally in fermented products like Japanese sake and various types of wine (red, rosé, and white).
Thanks to its high stability, low reactivity, and broad efficacy, C-mo 2G™ is ideal for use in a wide range of skin care, hair care, and intimate care applications.
KEY BENEFITS OF C-MO 2G™
SKIN BARRIER SUPPORT & MOISTURE RETENTION
Upregulation of Filaggrin and AQP3 Expression
● Filaggrin, a filament-associated protein, is essential for forming natural moisturizing factors that retain water in the skin.
● Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) is a membrane channel protein that facilitates water and glycerol transport, maintaining optimal hydration.
C-mo 2G™ boosts the expression of both filaggrin and AQP3, reinforcing the skin’s barrier function and promoting deep hydration by supporting osmotic balance at the cellular level.
PROTECTION AGAINST PHOTOAGING
Safeguarding Keratinocytes, Elastin & Collagen
UV radiation, especially UV-B, causes structural damage to keratinocytes and accelerates skin aging.
● Pretreatment with C-mo 2G™ significantly reduces lactic dehydrogenase release in UV-exposed keratinocytes, signaling cellular protection.
● It also helps preserve collagen and elastin, maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORI ACTION
UV exposure stimulates the production of inflammatory factors in the skin.
C-mo 2G™ suppresses the UV-induced synthesis of stem cell factor (SCF) by keratinocytes.
In DJM-1 cells treated with IL-4, glyceryl glucoside reduced SCF production by 40%, demonstrating a strong anti-inflammatory effect.
