Pullulan is a polysaccharide polymer derived from a type of black yeast called Aureobasidium pullulans. It forms a thin, elastic, and moisture-absorbing film when applied to the skin, resulting in an instant tightening effect. Pullulan also acts as a thickener, providing a silicone-like feel, and can be used in peel-off masks. It is commonly used in cosmetic products such as lotions, facial masks, shampoos, and oral care products.
