Aqualance 100 g

Aqualance osmoprotective active for hydration focused skincare development

Aqualance is a cosmetic active based on Water (and) Erythritol (and) Homarine HCl, developed for advanced hydration-oriented personal care formulations. The combination of erythritol and Homarine HCl has made this ingredient a recognized solution within modern skincare and haircare product development.
