Fructooligosaccharides (prebiotic)

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short chains of fructose molecules. They feed the beneficial microorganisms that naturally live on the skin, which is why they act as a prebiotic in cosmetics.

They support the balance of the skin microbiome, helping the skin stay in good condition and more resilient to external factors. Like other sugars, they also bind water, so they additionally moisturise and soften the skin.

You will find them in our face cream, lip balms, facial cleansing foams and shampoo bar.
