Information

Pullulan is a naturally derived polysaccharide (a type of sugar-based ingredient) used in skincare as a film-forming, texturizing, and skin-conditioning ingredient. It is valued for its ability to create a smooth, lightweight layer on the skin that contributes to the feel and appearance of skincare products while promoting hydration and product performance.

Where does it come from?

Pullulan is produced through the fermentation of starches, typically derived from corn, tapioca, or other plant sugars, using the yeast-like fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. The resulting ingredient is purified to create a versatile, naturally derived ingredient suitable for cosmetic applications.

What are the benefits?

HYDRATING TAUTENING SMOOTHING

What are the benefits?

  • Smoothing: Forms a lightweight, invisible film that leaves skin feeling smooth and refined.
  • Hydrating: Can minimize moisture loss and contributes to the skin’s natural hydration.
  • Tautening: Provides a temporary tightening effect that allows skin to appear more toned and refreshed.
  • Texturizing: Contributes to the texture, consistency, and sensory experience of skincare formulations and helps active ingredients distribute evenly across the skin.
  • Protecting: Protects the skin’s surface by creating a breathable, protective layer.

How is it used in our products?

Pullulan is used in Olive Rescue Baby Rash Balm and Olive Blossom Baby Body Lotion from OLIVEDA's Baby & Mom Collection.  It contributes to the texture, performance, and sensory experience of our formulations. It creates a lightweight, comfortable film on the skin that promotes hydration while imparting a smoother, more refined appearance. Pullulan also contributes to product spreadability and complements other carefully selected ingredients to leave skin feeling soft, supple, and refreshed.
