Your skin wasn't meant to be monogamous. It needs love from lots of different nutrients. And there's one kind of nutrient that has poly right in the name... Complex polysaccharides offer an bounty of benefits for skin. A saccharide is a type of sugar, and poly just meants it's got more than one sugar molecule linked up. They're bioactive and can help hydrate and soothe skin. While roots are not the only source of complex polysaccharides there are some well-known medicinal roots that really shine for these skin helpers. Ginseng, Astragalus, and Marshmallow roots are big ones. | | We included both Astragalus root and Ginseng root in our Glow Good Earth Exfoliant Powder because they help minimize potential irritation from exfoliation, and also stimulate repair. Astragalus alone has 14 types of complex polysaccharides! (source) Polysaccharides are also great at helping skin retain hydration. Their molecular structure helps them link up to form a protective layer when used in skincare products like moisturizers. Marshmallow Root is particularly great for hydration, protection, and soothing of very dry skin that is prone to redness and irritation. | | When we extract marshmallow root at our studio the extract is thick and gooey. It feels cooling on skin when applied. For people with eczmea complex polysaccharides can mean skin finally feels soothed and comfortable! | | Marshmallow root has even been shown to get results as good as corticosteroids on eczema! ( source) And it does it without the health risks. Root extracts are truly the kind of nurturing, supportive love that skin needs. Ready to have a sugar-mama? You can have a few! These polysaccharide-rich products will treat you with the TLC you deserve: | | | | Glow - Good Earth Exfoliant Powder |
