Humectants are substances that include glycerin, hyaluronic acid, urea, and propylene glycol. They work by attracting water molecules from the surrounding environment and binding them to the skin or other surfaces, thus preventing moisture loss. They are incorporated into shampoos, conditioners, and styling products to moisturize the hair, reduce frizz, and enhance manageability. They help to hydrate the skin by drawing moisture from the deeper layers to the surface, leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple. They aid in manufacturing various personal care products like toothpaste, mouthwash, and deodorants to maintain moisture, improve texture, and enhance product performance. They can also assist in preventing drying out in the food products by retaining moisture, which extends shelf life and maintains freshness. They are added to pharmaceutical formulations, such as tablets, syrups, and ointments, to prevent them from drying out, improve stability, and enhance the delivery of active ingredients.
According to IMARC Group, The global humectants market size reached US$ 28.6 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 49.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% during 2024-2032.
