Pullulan

Why Use Pullulan?

Pullulan is widely used in anti-aging and skin-firming formulations due to its ability to form a breathable film that temporarily tightens the skin. It is also used as a natural thickener and texture enhancer in serums, masks, and primers. As a sugar-based polymer, it is gentle and biodegradable making it ideal for clean and natural formulations.

Key Benefits:

• Instant tightening and firming effect on skin
• Improves spreadability and sensory feel
• Creates a smooth, velvety film without stickiness
• Compatible with most water-based formulations
• Biodegradable and derived from natural fermentation

Common Applications:

• Firming face serums and lifting masks

Usage Guidelines:

• Use at 0.5%–5% depending on desired film strength
