α-葡聚糖低聚糖是一种碳水化合物分子，具有生物选择性和水结合能力。它通过鼓励有益细菌的生长来稳定皮肤的微生态。
INCI：Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide，α-葡聚糖寡糖
CAS：27707-45-5
α-葡聚糖低聚糖是一种强大的益生菌，已知有助于维持和支持皮肤的天然微生物群。
皮肤上覆盖着数十亿友好的细菌、真菌和霉菌（被称为吸收性菌群），它们参与皮肤的新陈代谢–分泌脂肪酶和产生乳酸。两者都是维持pH值平衡和通过表面抗原支持免疫系统所必需的。它们（滋养型菌群）以汗液、皮脂和死皮为食–保护身体免受恶意微生物的侵害。
污染、压力、年龄、阳光、极端温度和抗生素处方可以破坏和抑制有益菌群的生长。这些压力因素破坏了皮肤微生物群的平衡，导致有害菌群的生长，引起皮肤瘙痒、发红、过度脱屑、刺激和感染。α-葡聚糖寡糖通过刺激有益的微生物菌群和维持这些良性生物体生长的必要条件，帮助重建和支持皮肤微生物菌群。
作为一种极其安全的成分，α-葡聚糖低聚糖在一般使用中没有已知的毒性，并被证明是无刺激性的，适合敏感皮肤。
Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide is a carbohydrate molecule that is bio-selective and has water-binding abilities. It stabilizes the microflora of the skin by encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide is a powerful probiotic known to help maintain and support the skin’s natural microflora.
The skin is covered with billions of friendly bacteria, fungi and molds (known as saprophytic flora) which are involved in skin metabolism – the secretion of lipases and production of lactic acid. Both are necessary to maintain the pH balance and support the immune system by surface antigens. They (the saprophytic flora) feed on sweat, sebum and dead skin – protecting the body against malicious microorganisms.
Pollution, stress, age, sunlight, extreme temperatures and antibiotics prescription can destroy and inhibit the growth of beneficial flora. These stressors disrupt the balance of the skin microflora and lead to the growth of harmful flora causing skin itch, redness, excess scaling, irritations and infections. Alpha-glucan oligosaccharide helps to rebuild and support the skin microflora by stimulating beneficial microflora and maintaining necessary conditions for the growth of these benign organisms.
Side Effects & Toxicity:
An extremely safe ingredient, alpha-glucan oligosaccharide has no known toxicity in general use and is shown to be non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin.
