Inulin is a prebiotic that supports the skin’s microbiome and skin-friendly bacteria which keep everything balanced. It offers moisturising properties, and is a natural humectant and conditioner.
Inulin is also a form of indigestible dietary fiber that makes one feel fuller for longer, helping control appetite and maintaining blood sugar levels. It is widely used in food as a sweetener and source of soluble fiber.
We love inulin primarily because it allows for a prebiotic in skincare! Using pre- and probiotics in skincare products is very on trend in the skincare industry currently.

Recipe inspiration
Prebiotic Serum
2% inulin
96.5% hydrosol of choice
1% Geogard 221
0.5% allantoin (optional)
Optional: you can add a glycerite for colour
Measure out the ingredients and combine everything in a pipette or spritzer bottle. Inulin may take a bit of stirring to fully dissolve, if you find yourself struggling try heating the inulin and hydrosol mixture to help it along. Then shake well to mix in the preservative and the allantoin if using. Read more on our other water based serums in our blog.
