What is Different Between Hydrolyzed Sclerotium Gum And Other Gums?

 

Hydrolyzed sclerotium gum is a natural small-molecule polysaccharide polymer produced through fungal fermentation. It's loved in high-end cosmetics for its excellent long-lasting hydration, soothing and repairing properties, and great skin feel.

 

Hydrolyzed sclerotium gum is a natural polymer moisturizer made by fungi (sclerotium) that grow on plant roots. After hydrolysis, its molecules get smaller, which helps the skin absorb it better.

 

This ingredient has a unique triple-helix structure that helps retain moisture naturally. It's also shear- and heat-resistant, and remains stable across a wide range of pH formulations.

 

 

1. Strong Moisturizing

It can form a breathable layer on the surface of the skin, effectively locking in moisture and reducing water loss, keeping the skin hydrated for a long time.

 

2. Soothing and Barrier Repair

It can effectively inhibit the activity of hyaluronidase, slowing down the degradation of the skin's own hyaluronic acid. At the same time, it can reduce substances that cause skin inflammation, noticeably soothing redness and irritation.

 

3. Safe and Gentle

Hydrolyzed sclerotium gum powder has a very low risk factor in cosmetics, is non-comedogenic, and generally has no adverse effects on pregnant women, so it can be used with confidence.

 

 

 

1. Skincare and Cosmetics

Used as a film-forming agent, moisturizer, and skin conditioner, it is widely applied in various skincare and cosmetic products to provide conditioning and film-forming effects. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) in the United States has evaluated that its use is safe in leave-on cosmetics at concentrations not exceeding 1%.

 

2. Oral Care

In in vitro tests, it can reduce the adhesion of oral bacteria to the tooth surface, effectively slowing plaque formation, while also neutralizing product taste and reducing a dry sensation.
