At CarbExplore, our passion for innovation and sustainability drives everything we do. Through years of research and expertise in functional carbohydrates, we’ve become a trusted partner in creating healthier, more sustainable ingredients for food and personal care industries, contributing to a better future for all.
Carbohydrates play a crucial role in cosmetics, offering benefits ranging from hydration and texture enhancement to microbiome support and sustainable formulation innovations. By harnessing enzymatic and fermentation technology, we move towards greener, bio-based, and more sustainable formulations without compromising performance. The resulting naturally modified carbohydrates offer cosmetic benefits such as:
Bind water and retain moisture, improving skin hydration;
Form biocompatible gels and films, contributing to texture and end-product stability;
Serve as prebiotics for the skin microbiome, supporting beneficial bacteria and overall skin health;
Act as natural emulsifiers and stabilizers, replacing synthetic alternatives;
Glucosylation technology improves water-solubility of actives, removing the need for alcohol as a solvent in cosmetic products.
At CarbExplore, we offer specialized services in carbohydrate research and development. From tailored ingredient solutions to contract research, our expertise helps partners innovate and bring high-performing, sustainable products to market.
