POLYDEXTROSE

Safety grade: A

Polydextrose is a low-calorie bulking agent made from glucose (a type of sugar) that's been chemically processed. It's commonly used in foods and cosmetics to add texture and thickness without using traditional sugar.

In cosmetics, polydextrose acts as a bulking agent to add volume and thickness to products, while also helping to retain moisture in the skin due to its humectant properties.
