Overview
Inulin is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that can be obtained from the roots of the Asteraceae family (for example chicory, dandelion, or Jerusalem artichoke).
Similar to other polysaccharides, it works as a humectant moisturizing ingredient that also has prebiotic properties (it supports the growth of beneficial bacteria on the skin).
