What Soluble Proteoglycan is & what it does
Soluble Proteoglycan is a water-dispersible form of proteoglycan, a molecule built from a protein core attached to glycosaminoglycan sugar chains, often sourced from marine or biotech origins. It is commonly used as a moisturizing and skin-conditioning agent, forming a hydrating film that helps the skin feel plump and smooth. Proteoglycans are valued for their strong water-binding capacity, similar in spirit to hyaluronic acid. It is generally considered gentle and suited to hydrating serums.
