Sugar for Personal Care Product Manufacturing
How is Sugar Used in Cosmetic Products?
Ever take a look at the ingredients in your skincare products? You might be surprised to find many cosmetics list sugar as a main ingredient. Once thought of as harmful, sugar is actually perfectly suited for either direct use on the skin as a scrub, or as an essential ingredient in various cosmetic products to help encourage hydration and moisture. We will list more specifics on sugar's role in cosmetics below, and what kinds of sugars skin care manufacturers use to get the job done.
Types of Sugar in Sugar Scrubs
Whether purchasing a quality sugar scrub or trying to make one at home, there are a few sugars most commonly used for sugar-based exfoliating sugar scrubs. The aim of a scrub is to exfoliate the body or face. For this, you will want to use coarse sugars like white coarse sugars or turbinado sugar. Most looking to create a facial scrub at home will likely have sugar already in the house, while manufacturers will need coarse sugar in bulk, or might experiment with other types of sugar to stand out.

What Are The Skin Benefits of Sugar?
While many beauty experts swore off sugar in an attempt to achieve a clearer complexion, this doesn't stop cosmetic manufacturers from using sugar in their products. In fact, sugar has multiple benefits, both as a vital ingredient in make-up and skincare production and for the body itself.
Natural Moisturizer
As a humectant, sugar naturally attains moisture from water and preserves it. This is a helpful tool in moisturizers and skincare products to help lock moisture into the skin. In addition, with its acidic properties, sugar also naturally balances the moisture levels of the skin so it does not become too oily or too dry.
Anti-Aging and Exfoliating Properties
Sugar contains glycolic acid, currently a hot component of the skincare world thanks to its ability to aid the turnover of old cells to new cells. This brings that glowing finish to your skin that many are looking to achieve. Sugar can also be used as a physical exfoliant to help remove dead skin cells.
Popular Sugars for Personal Care Lotions and Scrubs
Unlike scrubs, the goal of lotions is to soothe and moisturize the skin. In this case, fine-grain sugars work best to help the formula lock in moisture. Brown sugar works great in these situations as well, especially for those looking to make their own lotions at home. Fine-grain sugars dissolve better in the solutions, making them the ideal choice.
