Information

Sclerotium Gum is a naturally derived polysaccharide (a type of sugar-based ingredient) used in skincare as a texturizer, stabilizer, and skin-conditioning agent. It can create smooth, elegant formulations while contributing to the texture, consistency, and sensory experience of skincare products.

Where does it come from?

Sclerotium Gum is produced through the fermentation of sugars by the fungus Sclerotium rolfsii. After fermentation, the ingredient is purified and processed into a versatile, plant-friendly ingredient widely used in cosmetic formulations. Despite its fungal origin, it does not contain mushroom material and is considered a vegan-friendly ingredient.

What are the benefits?

HARMONIZING STENGTHENING SOOTHING

What are the benefits?

  • Texturizing: Creates a smooth, luxurious texture and contributes to the feel of skincare products, spreadability, and ensures active ingredients distribute evenly across the skin.
  • Stabilizing: Can maintain the consistency and integrity of formulations over time.
  • Hydrating: Forms a lightweight film on the skin that can minimize moisture loss.
  • Conditioning: Leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable.
  • Natural-Origin: Produced through a fermentation process and valued in naturally derived formulations.

How is it used in our products?

Sclerotium gum is used in Olive Rescue Baby Rash Balm from OLIVEDA's Baby & Mom Collection.  It is included to create stable, elegant formulations with a pleasant sensory experience. It contributes to texture, spreadability, and hydration by forming a lightweight, comfortable layer on the skin. This multifunctional ingredient also can keep our products beautifully harmonized, allowing other carefully selected ingredients to perform effectively while leaving skin feeling soft and nourished.
