Overview
Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide that is frequently combined with glucose to create sucrose, or common sugar.
In cosmetics, fructose can be used as a flavoring agent, as it offers a mildly sweet flavor. This is commonly utilized in products that may be unintentionally consumed, such as lip sticks, glosses, and balms.
In addition to functioning as a flavoring agent, fructose is also a humectant. A humectant is a type of moisturizer that works by drawing in moisture to the skin – either from the environment or from deeper layers of the skin.
