Resurrection Plant, 

a Miracle of Nature

The Resurrection Plant

(Myrothamnus flabellifolia) is a botanical marvel of the desert. Even when it appears completely dry and lifeless, just a few drops
 of water can revive it showcasing its extraordinary vitality. The secret behind this remarkable resilience lies in Glyceryl Glucoside (2-GG)

The Science of Glyceryl Glucoside (2-GG)

2-GG is the key compound that enables the
 Resurrection Plant to retain moisture even under extreme drought conditions.


In human skin, 2-GG activates Aquaporins 

specialized cellular water channels enhancing deep hydration by increasing the absorption and retention of moisture within the epidermis.


The discovery of Aquaporins earned Peter Agre and Roderick MacKinnon the 2003 

Nobel Prize in Chemistry, highlighting

their crucial role in cellular water balance

AquaGG® (2-α-Glyceryl Glucoside) is a high-purity active ingredient produced usinga proprietary enzymatic process.


Scientifically proven to activate Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) a key water channel protein in skin cells AquaGG® promotes deep, long-lasting hydration, helps reinforce the skin barrier, and supports improved skin elasticity.

Benefits

  • Activates aquaporins to boost hydration at the cellular level
  • Helps protect skin cells from damage and premature aging
  • Supports skin elasticity and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles
  • Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier
  • Naturally inhibits microbial growth, providing antibacterial and antifungal protection
