Inulin

INCI Name: Inulin

Inulin is a natural polysaccharide and prebiotic, derived mainly from plants such as chicory root. In cosmetics, it serves as an excellent moisturizer and skin conditioner. Its prebiotic properties help support a healthy microbiome on the skin's surface by encouraging beneficial bacteria and inhibiting harmful ones.

This can improve the skin's barrier function, reduce sensitivity, and enhance overall skin health. Its humectant nature means it attracts and retains moisture, providing a soft, smooth feel to the skin.
