Inulin is a food-grade, plant-derived carbohydrate used in both food preparation and cosmetic formulation. It has a mild natural sweetness, dissolves in water, and is commonly used to add body, improve texture, and support moisture in suitable recipes and formulas. In skincare and haircare, it is used as a humectant and conditioning ingredient, especially in water-based products. This version is sourced from chicory and is intended as a raw ingredient rather than a finished product.
♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock inulin because it is a versatile, low-fuss ingredient that works across both pantry and formulation use. It brings practical texture benefits in food and a gentle, modern humectant role in personal care, which makes it especially useful for ingredient-led DIY making.
