Pullulan

Pullulan by Nagase is a naturally occurring, low viscosity polysaccharide that has good adhesive and foam-retention properties when dissolved in water. These properties enable Pullulan to be used for creating luxuriant smoothness for skin care, hair care and cleansing products, leaving a natural silicone-like after feel on the skin. With its film-forming ability, it also produces easily dissolvable films and face masks making it an effective and stable carrier for active ingredients, colors and fragrances. It brings an instant lift-up effect to skin care products. It is readily soluble in water and is stable over a broad range of pH conditions. Importantly, Pullulan solution is not highly viscous; therefore, it will not affect the viscosity when added to solutions.
