COSMETIC PROPERTIES 
 
Regulatory activity of the transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This is due to carbohydrate and vitamins cucumber. Carbohydrates are active ingredients widely used in cosmetics. The monosaccharides are hygroscopic, that is, they are able to absorb water and thus contribute to the maintenance of the stratum corneum water. This same property is extensible oligosaccharides. These assets act to prevent massive loss of water and slowing dehydration. Furthermore, some of these compounds form a protective film on the skin, preventing and delaying the transepidermal water loss.

In addition, the natural character of the vitamins has promoted its use in creams and lotions to soften the skin's natural moisture recovering.
