Biosaccharide Gum-1 solution (1% aqueous)

Biosaccharide gum-1 is a fermentation-derived polysaccharide used for moisturizing, skin conditioning and sensory modification in cosmetics. Its hydrophilic sugar structure associates with water and forms a light film on the skin. These properties support moisture retention and a soft, comfortable after-feel without using a high level of oily emollient.

The common commercial liquid contains approximately 1% polysaccharide in an aqueous carrier, so it is dosed as a dilute ingredient rather than as neat gum powder. It enters the water phase of emulsions and aqueous treatments. Its film-forming and sensory effects are relevant at low polymer solids; a liquid polysaccharide grade should not be treated as a direct replacement for a primary high-viscosity gelling agent.

Typical Applications

• Hydrating facial serums: Used in aqueous facial serums and essences to add a lightweight moisturizing film. It complements small-molecule humectants by contributing a polysaccharide-based surface feel.
• Face and body emulsions: Used in moisturizing creams and lotions to improve softness and comfort after application. The aqueous ingredient is incorporated into the continuous phase while emollient oils provide the separate lipid contribution.
• Comfort-focused skin-care products: Used in after-sun and dry-skin care formulations where a hydrated, less tight skin feel is desired. Its role is cosmetic conditioning and film formation within a moisturizing formula.
