Sodium Dextran Sulfate is a sulfated derivative of dextran, a polysaccharide of bacterial origin. INCI: Sodium Dextran Sulfate. In a formula it works as a soothing and decongestant component: it is linked to reduced congestion and redness, so it appears in under-eye products and sensitive-skin care. Its action is mild and topical evidence is limited, so it is a supporting component rather than a lead active with a marked clinical result. Pregnancy safety. Topical use, low systemic absorption, no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
