Description
Pullulan is a natural polysaccharide that is used in cosmetics for the following purposes: 1. Film forming: it can be used to create a protective barrier that helps retain moisture, improve smoothness and softness of the skin. 2. Moisturizing: it has hydrophilic properties, meaning it is able to bind moisture. This helps provide skin hydration and maintain its hydrated state. 3. Enhancing stability: it can be used as a stabilizer and thickener in cosmetic products. It helps maintain formula stability, preventing phase separation and ingredient separation. 4. Antioxidant properties: it can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress. 5. Improving texture: it can add smoothness and silkiness to cosmetic products.
