Emollient ingredient
Inulin Stearate
An ester of inulin (a fructan polysaccharide from chicory or agave) and stearic acid. It acts as a film-forming emollient, depositing a light conditioning layer on skin. The inulin backbone may also offer mild prebiotic-adjacent effects on the skin microbiome, though cosmetic evidence is limited.
