D-2-Deoxyglucose(CAS 154-17-6)
Cosmetic-grade D-2-Deoxyglucose (2-DG) is a high-efficiency water-soluble anti-glycation and anti-aging active ingredient, a cutting-edge star material in the field of high-end skin anti-sugar and anti-aging care.
Different from traditional single anti-oxidation ingredients that only improve superficial dullness, D-2-Deoxyglucose targets the root cause of skin aging—glycation reaction.
It can competitively inhibit the binding of glucose to skin collagen and elastin, fundamentally block the production of AGEs (advanced glycation end products), and avoid skin problems such as collagen yellowing, brittleness, breakage, skin sagging and fine lines caused by glycation.
Meanwhile, it has excellent free radical scavenging capacity, can effectively resist oxidative damage caused by external ultraviolet rays and environmental stress, reduce light aging and dry dullness.
In addition, D-2-Deoxyglucose has mild anti-inflammatory and barrier repair effects, which can soothe subtle skin inflammation caused by dryness and stimulation, repair damaged stratum corneum, improve skin water-locking capacity, and make skin firm, translucent and delicate.
With stable water-phase performance, no irritation, high safety and wide formula compatibility, it is an indispensable core multifunctional raw material for developing high-grade anti-glycation, brightening and anti-aging skin care products.



Key Benefits
• Source Anti-Glycation, Reverse Yellowing & Aging: Competitively block skin glycation reaction, inhibit AGEs accumulation, prevent collagen yellowing and aging, fundamentally improve skin dull yellow and turbid complexion, restore skin translucency.
• Dual Anti-Oxidation & Anti-Light-Aging: Efficiently scavenge internal free radicals, resist oxidative stress damage, cooperate with sunscreen ingredients to reduce light aging, fade fine dry lines, and maintain youthful skin state.
