Findings
This is a review study, not an experiment with measurable results. Researchers examined trehalose—a natural sugar found in bacteria, fungi, and plants—and concluded it has potential uses in cosmetics and skincare, primarily because it can stabilize and protect other ingredients. However, the abstract doesn't provide specific data on how trehalose actually performs in skincare products or what concentrations would be effective.
