Products Description

2‑Deoxy‑D‑Glucose (2‑DG) is a high‑value glucose derivative widely used in high‑end cosmetics. As a natural anti‑metabolite, it regulates skin energy metabolism, inhibits glycolysis, delays cellular senescence, and provides strong antioxidant, moisturizing, anti‑inflammatory, and antibacterial benefits.
Our cosmetic‑grade 2‑Deoxy‑D‑Glucose features high purity, good stability, and excellent water solubility, making it ideal for anti‑aging, moisturizing, soothing, and acne‑prone skincare formulations.

Product Application
Anti‑Glycation & Anti‑Aging Care
2‑DG helps inhibit excessive glycation in skin tissue, reducing the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that cause sagging, yellowing, and loss of elasticity. It supports a firm, lifted, and youthful complexion in serums, creams, and anti‑aging essences.
Oil‑Regulating & Sebum Control for Oily Skin
By moderating cellular energy metabolism, it helps balance sebum production, minimize shine, and refine pores. It is commonly used in oil‑control emulsions, gel moisturizers, and treatments for combination and oily skin types.
Soothing & Calming for Irritated Skin
It supports skin barrier stability and reduces redness, discomfort, and reactivity caused by external stressors. Suitable for mild, gentle formulas designed for sensitive, post‑treatment, or easily irritated skin.
