AccessCARE FUCO-1000

High-Performance Bio-Fermented Moisturizer for Deep, Lasting Hydration

INCI Name: Biosaccharide gum-1, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Water

AccessCARE FUCO-1000 is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced through bacterial fermentation, delivering exceptional moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits. This bioactive gum forms a protective, moisture-binding film on the skin’s surface, providing immediate and long-lasting hydration for a soft, smooth feel. Its dual action of physical hydration and biological soothing makes it a versatile ingredient for rejuvenating serums, daily moisturizers, and sensitive skin formulations.

Solubility Notes:

Water-soluble; add to the water phase or during the cool-down phase of formulation (below 40°C / 104°F).

Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessCARE FUCO-1000

How Biosaccharide Gum-1 Works

AccessCARE FUCO-1000 is a bio-fermented, anionic polysaccharide rich in fucose. It delivers hydration through dual mechanisms. Physically, its high molecular weight enables formation of a non-occlusive, biomimetic film that binds water, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and imparts a perceptible smoothing effect. Biologically, Biosaccharide Gum-1 interacts with receptors involved in inflammation and nerve sensitivity to help diminish reactivity and discomfort. It has also been shown to stimulate sirtuin-1, a cellular “longevity protein,” supporting resilience against environmental stress and adding an anti-aging dimension to its core moisturizing activity.

Formulation Guidelines

AccessCARE FUCO-1000 is supplied as an aqueous solution and can be added directly to the water phase at room temperature. In emulsions, incorporate during the cool-down phase below 40°C (104°F) to preserve structure and sensorial performance. It is stable across a broad pH window (approximately 4.0–8.0), ensuring compatibility with most cosmetic systems. As an anionic polymer, it may interact with high levels of cationic materials; however, it is generally compatible with common actives and humectants such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and glycerin.

Key Formulation Benefits

Dual-Action Hydration: Provides immediate surface moisturization via a moisture-retaining film and long-lasting effects comparable to hyaluronic acid.
Exceptional Sensory Feel: Imparts a soft, smooth, and comfortable finish while reducing the tackiness of other humectants (e.g., glycerin).
Proven Soothing & Anti-Irritant: Helps calm visible redness and reduce sensations of discomfort in sensitive or compromised skin.
Anti-Aging & Rejuvenating: Supports cellular defenses by stimulating sirtuin-1 to help protect against premature aging from environmental stressors.
Easy to Formulate: Water-soluble liquid that incorporates seamlessly into serums, lotions, creams, and toners without the need for heat.
Versatile Application: Suitable for face, body, and hair products to boost hydration and enhance overall sensorial experience.
