About this ingredient

Pullulan is a natural polysaccharide produced by fermentation of the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans, used in cosmetics as a film-forming and skin-conditioning agent. It creates a breathable protective film on the skin surface and helps improve texture and smoothness. It is also valued for its moisture-retention properties and ability to provide a soft, matte finish.
