It is also known to reduce the sticky, tacky finish of some skincare products, replacing it with a smoother feel. Biosaccharide Gum-1 works synergistically with other well-known ferments like hyaluronic acid, inulin (a prebiotic), and xanthan gum. It can help repair the skin's barrier and protect it from damage caused by harsh actives or over-exfoliation. Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a moisturizing and skin-soothing ingredient that works by binding water to the epidermis and creating a moisture-binding film on the skin, giving it a soft and smooth feeling. It also functions as an anti-irritant and can be found in various cosmetics such as facial moisturizers, sunscreens, eye creams, foundations, and conditioners. Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Face Moisturizer, Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream, and Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa Replenishing Anti-Fatigue Sleeping Mask are some of the products that contain Biosaccharide Gum-1.
