Skinactive HTP

Skinactive HPT, Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol, is a synthetic ingredient that is used in a variety of skincare products. It is made by the reaction of xylose with 3-hydroxypropanal. The reaction is catalyzed by an acid, such as hydrochloric acid. The resulting product is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water and alcohol.

Skinactive HPT works by stimulating the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the skin. GAGs are a type of molecule that helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump. HPT also helps to reduce the breakdown of collagen in the skin, which can help to prevent wrinkles and sagging.

INCI name: Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol

Other name: Proxylane
CAS: 439685-79-7

Hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol, also known as Pro-Xylane or HTP, is used in skincare products for its supposed anti-aging and hydrating properties. It is a sugar-protein hybrid derived from xylose, which is abundant in beech trees, and is typically produced through a chemical modification process to enhance its stability.

This cosmetic ingredient was developed by L’Oreal, and studies related to its effectiveness may have conflicts of interest due to their association with L’Oreal brands. This doesn’t necessarily mean that hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol isn’t effective for the skin, but it’s important to consider the potential for research bias.

Benefits:

  • Moisturizing: Skinactive HTP can help to keep the skin hydrated by stimulating the production of GAGs.
  • Anti-aging: Skinactive HPT can help to prevent wrinkles and sagging by reducing the breakdown of collagen.
  • Firming: Skinactive HPT can help to firm the skin by stimulating the production of GAGs.

Protective: Skinactive HPT can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
