A glycosaminoglycan is a macromolecule found on the surface of eukaryotic cells which is thought to play a role in the cells recognition of other cells or of a substrate. They are also called Mucopolysaccharides
Glycogen is the energy source for the skin cells. Glycogen is present at all the defense and restoration processes performed by the skin cells. It also improves the oxygen consumption and acts as an anti-stress active ingredient.
The skin’s inter-cellular matrix is a jelly-like substance in which the cells of our lower skin layers float. It is essential for the support of the collagen and Elastin fibers which give skin its bounce and resiliency. Dermal hydration depends on the production and maintenance of glycosaminoglycans.
The loss of glycosaminoglycans from the skin weakens the supportive inter-cellular matrix and results in loose, flaccid and generally not firm skin.
