What Is Proxylane?

Derived from beech wood through an environmentally-efficient process, Proxylane helps support the skin's matrix and restores water to skin. This synthetic ingredient acts as a super moisturiser that strengthens the skin's extracellular matrix and increases elasticity and firmness.

Synthesised from the sugar xylose found in birch and beech wood, it keeps skin plump by reducing wrinkles, increasing elasticity, and improving hydration. It also helps reduce visible signs of ageing associated with advanced glycation end-products (A.G.E.s), improving skin structure for a brighter, firmer appearance.
