It also enhances the texture, spreadability, and sensory feel of cosmetic formulations.
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.
