Sustainability at the heart
The most sustainable xylitol on the market
GENENCARE® XL is xylitol upcycled from a paper production side stream. The wood raw material is sustainably sourced and certified Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). We are committed to a circular economy from sourcing to production and use minimal amounts of energy and chemicals compared to conventional xylitol.
GENENCARE ® XL can provide a cooling sensation as the dissolution of xylitol in water is an endothermic reaction. When xylitol dissolves in the water present at skin surface it provides a cooling effect in formulations where xylitol is included in crystal form.
Skin dryness disturbs the skin microbiome equilibrium by creating suitable conditions for opportunistic pathogens to take over to other commensals.
