INCI: Biosaccharide Gum-1

Essentially Natural Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation on a non-GMO vegetable medium. In skin and hair care it is valued for long-lasting moisturising, soothing comfort and a soft, silky afterfeel. It helps improve the look of skin suppleness and smoothness and can support barrier-friendly routines. The water-soluble liquid integrates easily into gels, serums, lotions and cleansers at cool-down or heated phases. Versatile and gentle, it is suitable for leave-on and rinse-off formulas across face, body and hair.

♡ Why we love it: It delivers fast, pleasing slip with a cushiony finish that makes formulas feel refined. It pairs well with humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid for all-day comfort. It is also easy to use, with broad pH stability and compatibility.

Sizes: 10ml, 20ml, 30ml, 50ml, 100ml, 200ml, 500ml or 1L.

Also available in Sample Sizes.
