About this ingredient

Sclerotium gum is a polysaccharide derived from the fermentation of Sclerotium rolfsii, a fungus. It functions as a thickening and gelling agent in cosmetic formulations, providing viscosity control and texture stabilization. It also acts as a film-former and skin conditioning agent, leaving a smooth, hydrated feel on the skin.
