Description: Saccharum officinarum (sugar cane) extract is an extract of the sugar cane, saccharum officinarum l., poaceae. Also known as Sugarcane, Saccharum Officinarum is a handy moisturizing ingredient mostly used as a humectant. This means that it can help the skin to attract water and then to hold onto it. 

It bears a close relationship to AHA superstar, Glycolic Acid that can be derived from it, so it’s often claimed that Sugarcane Extract itself also exfoliates and brightens the skin.
