Science & Benefits

Rhizobian Gum is a biopolymer produced by the fermentation of soil bacteria (Rhizobium). In nature, this gum maintains a moist environment around plant roots during drought. On the skin, it functions as a cooling, moisture-retaining film former that provides a visible 'plumping' effect. It is zero-comedogenic (Rating 0). It is a superior 'natural' alternative to synthetic thickeners in acne-safe serums, providing an elegant, water-rich texture that feels refreshing on 'hot,' inflamed skin without trapping sebum.
