Texturizer, Film Former, Anti-Aging – Pullulan
Natural polysaccharide for smooth texture, lift-up effect, and film formation.
Pullulan creates a luxurious feel and supports active delivery in skin, hair, and oral care products.
Multifunctional Polysaccharide for Film Formation and Skin Firming
Pullulan is a naturally occurring, low-viscosity polysaccharide that functions as a versatile film former, texturizer, and anti-aging agent in personal care applications. At low concentrations, it imparts a silky, silicone-like after-feel, enhancing skin comfort in creams, serums, and cleansers.
At moderate usage levels, Pullulan delivers an instant lift-up effect due to its strong adhesiveness, making it ideal for firming and anti-aging skincare products. At higher concentrations, it forms stable, water-soluble films and is widely used in sheet masks, rinse-off products, and oral care, acting as a delivery matrix for active ingredients and fragrances.
NAGASE supplies Pullulan globally for use in advanced skin care, hair care, and cosmetic formulations – with full technical support and international logistics services.
