Liquid Inulin from Jerusalem Artichoke for Skincare and Functional Formulations
Liquid inulin extracted from Helianthus tuberosus (Jerusalem artichoke) is a natural, water-soluble polysaccharide widely used in cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications. Its prebiotic properties, moisture-retention capacity, and compatibility with sensitive formulations make it a powerful multifunctional ingredient for innovative skin care, gut-friendly beverages, and clean-label products.
Naturally derived and vegan-friendly, this form of inulin is ideal for use in water-based solutions such as serums, lotions, facial tonics, cleansing gels, and shampoos, as well as in functional foods and dietary supplements. Liquid inulin blends seamlessly with hydrolates, botanical extracts, peptides, amino acids, and natural surfactants, offering formulators wide creative flexibility.
Functions and Applications Across Industries
Liquid inulin is valued across a range of sectors:
• Cosmetics: serums, moisturizing gels, cleansing foams, post-procedure skincare
• Personal care: intimate hygiene, baby formulas, microbiome-focused products
• Nutraceuticals: functional beverages, gut health supplements, digestive tonics
• Pharmaceuticals: barrier-repair ointments, wound care gels, dermaceuticals
• Food: low-glycemic sweeteners, prebiotic drinks, diabetic and keto formulations
It supports the natural skin microbiome, helps maintain barrier integrity, boosts hydration, and enhances the efficacy of active ingredients. Its mild nature makes it suitable for children, elderly care, and sensitive skin products. In food and nutraceuticals, it improves gut flora balance and immune modulation.
