Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantrio
(Pro-Xylane)
What is Pro-Xylane?
Pro-Xylane (Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantrio) is a powerful anti-aging ingredient. It developed and created by L’Oréal Research and Innovation. Pro-Xylane is derived from xylose using an environmentally-friendly direct synthesis process. It contains water, propylene glycol, and hydroxypropyl tetrahydropyrantriol.
Pro-Xylane is claimed to help boost the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the skin, which are molecules responsible for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. Additionally, Pro-Xylane is said to stimulate the synthesis of collagen and other important proteins in the skin, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Health Benefits of Using Pro-Xylane
1. Promote the generation of GAGs to repair skin damage:
Studies have shown that Pro-Xylane can also support the synthesis of collagen and elastin, two proteins that provide structural support to the skin. By boosting their production, Pro-Xylane helps promote a more youthful complexion.
2. Promote collagen regeneration and reduce wrinkles:
Pro-Xylane is able to thicken and plump up the skin. It works on the skin's biomechanical properties by reinforcing the link between the dermis and epidermis.
3. Repair the epidermal-dermal connection in aging:
Pro-Xylane has excellent water-binding properties, ensuring your skin remains well-hydrated. It helps prevent moisture loss, giving your skin a plump and youthful appearance. Pro-Xylane also supports your skin’s natural barrier, which is crucial for protecting it from environmental stressors. A strong barrier means healthier, more resilient skin.
4. Replenish skin moisture to keep skin firmness:
One of the standout features of Pro-Xylane is its ability to promote collagen production. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness, making Pro-Xylane an excellent anti-aging ingredient.
