glycogen

Phytoglycogen sustainably extracted from kernels of sweet corn for cosmetic applications. This phytoglycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide with a unique spherical dendrimer structure that has similar effects to animal-derived glycogen. Phytoglycogen is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable. The product promotes collagen and hyaluronic acid production in skin cells by increasing cellular metabolism, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, and improving skin hydration.
