Sugar Cane

INCI

Saccharum Officinarum Extract

SUMMARY

Sugar cane (saccharum officinarum) is a tall, tropical grass plant known for its high sugar content in its stalks that’s processed to produce various sugar-sourced products. Sugar cane extract is used in skincare products like scrubs, peels, masks and serums because it contains natural AHA like glycolic acid that help exfoliate skin and increase cell turnover.

ORIGIN

Sugar cane is primarily grown in tropical and subtropical regions like the Caribbean, Brazil, India and Southeast Asia.

SKIN TOLERANCE

Sugar cane extract is generally well-tolerated on skin, but sunscreen is needed during use because of increased sensitivity to the sun.
