INULIN in natural cosmetics | Article

An excellent tip for you is inulin. It is a polysaccharide that is obtained from chicory roots.

INULIN - CHARACTERISTICS

It consists of 90% inulin and 10% fructose. It is a prebiotic that supports the skin’s own microbiota (which is actually a mixture of all microbes, such as protozoa, viruses, bacteria, fungi. In general, the microbial skin flora is similar in people, although it is never completely identical) and the growth of bacteria that are necessary for the skin. At the same time, it stops the growth of undesirable and harmful pathogens.

By adding prebiotics to your products, you therefore do not add only one type of microbe, but a whole range (there are more than 1000 types), thereby enabling the skin to regulate the supply of beneficial microbes itself, based on the individual microbiotic state of the skin.

And one more very essential piece of information. The effects of inulin are not deactivated by the preservation system as probiotics are. This means that if you add a natural preservative to your product, the effect of the prebiotics is not destroyed.

However, in order not to destroy or reduce the effect of the prebiotics, it is necessary to incorporate this powder correctly into the manufacturing of your product.

The maximum temperature at which the prebiotic survives is less than 60 ̊C and pH 4.3-10.0.
