1. PRODUCT IDENTITY
Trade Name: PuriActives® PuriVitin™
INCI Name (EU/US): Saccharide Isomerate, Aqua, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate
CAS No.: 100843-69-4, 7732-18-5, 77-92-9, 68-04-2
Origin: 100% Plant-derived
General Description
PuriVitin™ is a highly effective, 100% plant-derived carbohydrate complex designed to provide deep, long-lasting hydration. Its unique composition is chemically similar to the carbohydrate fraction of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) found in human skin.
Unlike conventional humectants that can be easily washed off, PuriVitin™ binds physically to the skin’s keratin, creating a moisture reservoir that lasts for up to 72 hours. It is an essential active for formulations targeting instant hydration, barrier repair, and scalp comfort.
2. KEY BENEFITS & CLAIMS
“Magnet-Like” Skin Affinity
●Unique Binding Mechanism: PuriVitin™ binds to the epsilon-amino group of lysine in keratin. This unique binding mechanism ensures the active is not washed off by water, making it ideal for both leave-on and rinse-off products (e.g., shower gels, face cleansers).
●Long-Lasting Hydration: Provides sustained hydration for up to 72 hours, breaking the dry-skin cycle.
Skin Barrier Support
●Strengthens Barrier Function: Improves the skin’s defense against external aggressors (pollution, cold weather, dry air).
●Soothing Effect: Visible reduction in dryness, flakiness, and tightness associated with dehydrated skin.
●Scalp Care: effectively hydrates the scalp, reducing itchiness and improving the overall health of the scalp microbiome environment.
Sensory Profile
●Leaves skin feeling soft, plump, and smooth without stickiness.

5. MECHANISM OF ACTION
PuriVitin™ functions differently from traditional polyols (like glycerin) or macromolecules (like hyaluronic acid).
1.Isomerization: The glucose and fructose from plant kernels are isomerized to create a unique carbohydrate complex.
2.Bio-Mimicry: This complex mimics the composition of carbohydrates found naturally in the Stratum Corneum.
3.Keratin Binding: Upon application, PuriVitin™ forms a permanent bond with the keratinocytes. This bond is so strong that the moisture-locking effect persists until the dead skin cells naturally exfoliate (desquamation), ensuring hydration that outlasts washing.
6. APPLICATIONS & DOSAGE
