Agave Inulin

Agave Inulin is a naturally derived polysaccharide extracted from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), the same species used in tequila production, making it a co-product of an established agricultural industry. It consists of fructose polymer chains with a degree of polymerization typically between 10–60 units, which gives it excellent water-binding capacity and a light, non-greasy skin feel compared to other humectants. Formulators prize it for its ability to form a breathable, flexible film on skin and hair that enhances softness and moisture retention, while also functioning as a prebiotic to support the skin's natural microbiome.
