1. Water solubility 2. Binding, agglomerating & thickening 3. Dispersing, suspending & stabilizing 4. Foam retention & oil resistant 5. Adhesiveness 6. Odorless & tasteless 7. Non irritant & non toxic 8. Biodegradable – environment friendly 1. Water solubility • Pullulan – Readily soluble in water • Ideal cosmetic ingredient in “wash away” cosmetics -shampoos & hair conditioners, shower gels, bathing product,eye liner, mascara etc. • Data shows stability vs. time of washing.
2. Binding, agglomerating & thickening Pullulan – effective binder & thickener of creams, lotions, gels, balms, lipstick, lip gloss, under eye gels etc. It binds well even in the presence of the surfactant (0.01% SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate)
3. Dispersing, suspending & stabilizing Pullulan - dispersing, suspending & stabilizing cosmetic products such as deodorant sprays, serums & suspensions.
4. Foam retention & oil resistant
5. Adhesiveness l Adherence property helps to provide an instant skin-tightening effect, acting as anti aging effect. l It is able to quickly form a sheer film that temporarily improves skin's texture and appearance. l It also provides a smoother texture to formulas, provides foam retention, is anti-static and oil resistant, and water soluble and therefore easily rinsed away. l Excellent adhesive properties when dried - sprays, rollons,lotions.
6. Odorless & tasteless
7. Non irritant & non toxic l Pullulan cleared faster from blood stream than dextran.
8. Biodegradable – environment friendly l Pullulan is completely natural l Produced by fungal fermentation l “Green technology”
9. Advantages with Pullulan LOTION: l Solution Stability l Non toxicity l Transparent film formimg ability COSMETIC POWDER l Covering powder l adsorptivity l Tackiness EYE LINER l Nontoxicity l Non irritability l Film Forming ability FACIAL PACKS l Film forming ability l Adsorptivity l Water retainability l Continuity of film at the time of peeling l Better than polyvinyl alcohol |
