Science & Benefits

Inulin is a natural prebiotic fiber (fructan) extracted from chicory root. It functions as a humectant that leaves a smooth, hydrated film on the skin. Its primary 'bulletproof' value lies in its role as a selective nutrient for beneficial skin bacteria (S. epidermidis). By feeding the 'good' flora, Inulin helps maintain a balanced microbiome, which is critical for suppressing the overgrowth of C. acnes. It is entirely non-comedogenic and serves as a vital bridge between hydration and microbial health.
