Description: Pullulan is a polysaccharide produced from starch by cultivating the yeast, aureobasidium pullulans.
It’s a big molecule made up of smaller sugar molecule units.
It dissolves in water and can make a thin, elastic, and moisture-absorbing film when spread on the skin that can cause an instant tightening effect. It can also be used as a thickener to get a silicone-like feel and can be used in peel-off masks.
