Biosaccharide Gum-2 is a rhamnose-rich polysaccharide derived from plant sugar fermentation, used in skincare for its soothing, anti-irritant, and skin-conditioning properties. It is thought to interfere with bacterial adhesion and modulate inflammatory responses in the skin.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild transient skin irritation or redness | Rare | Polysaccharide gums are generally well tolerated; irritation is uncommon and usually mild. |
Contact sensitization or allergic reaction | Very rare | Hypersensitivity is exceptional but theoretically possible with any botanical-derived ingredient. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
