Biosaccharide Gum-1
Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived gum produced from sorbitol via bacterial fermentation. It is chemically described as a polymer of α-L-fucose-1→3-α-D-galactose-1→3-α-D-galacturonic acid trisaccharides (CAS #: 194237-89-3). It functions as a skin conditioning agent according to official CosIng classification. It is noted for its pleasant soft-touch sensory profile in formulations.
According to manufacturer data, Biosaccharide Gum-1 provides soothing effects (reducing lactic-acid-induced tingling by 47% at 3% concentration in vivo), sustained moisturization comparable to hyaluronic acid at the 3–8 hour mark, and potential anti-aging and barrier-restructuring effects via stimulation of sirtuin-1 in ex-vivo tests. No independent peer-reviewed research was identified by the source to corroborate these claims.
All anti-aging and barrier-restructuring data cited are from the manufacturer (Solabia Group) and ex-vivo tests; the source explicitly advises taking these claims with caution due to the absence of independent research.
