1.Glyceryl glucoside(GG) is a conjugated molecule of glycerol and glucose.
GG is also the re-activation and re-vitalization substance of the resurrection plant. Even if Myrothamnus flabellifolia loses up to 98% of its own water, it can still survive tenacidly.

3.SCGP(Smart Cyano Glucosylglycerol Polygeneration Technology)
It is advanced biosynthesis integration of high valued co-production for natural products, such as GG synthesized from Cyanobacteria, which has been developed by CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences).
2-αGG is synthesized and extracted from cyanobacterial cell through SCGP technology. Compared with chemical synthesis and enzyme synthesis, this path exhibits simple component of product and eco-friendly conversion (organic solvent-free).
4.Glucosylglycerol (GG) has a range of potential applications in health, pharmacy, and cosmetics due to its physiological, protein-stabilizing, and antioxidative properties.
5.Application of GG in Cosmetics
a. Moisturize.Stimulation of aquaporin AQP3 and natural moisturizing factor NMF .
b. Anti - UV, anti - inflammator.Glycerin glucoside can not only inhibit the release of lactate dehydrogenase produced by UV irradiation, but also protect elastin, reduce skin redness and sunburn caused by UV.
c. Anti-aging and other (literature).Anti-oxidation and anti-aging; Energy, recombination; Wound healing.
d. Compatibility with other cosmetic active substances.It can be directly added to the water phase before emulsification, hot or cold water. Can be used in cleansing, mask, essence, body lotion, lipstick and other products.
6.GG Product Example
a. By the end of 2018, there were 388 daily cosmetics containing GG in Japan.
b. International high-end brands such as ARMANI, La Prairie and Nivea, DHC,FANCL, KOSE and other Japanese brands have launched GG containing products.
c. It can be widely used in shampoo, facial mask, lotion, facial cream, and sun cream, etc.
