Approximately half of the hyaluronan can be found in skin dermis as an extracellular matrix, where it plays a crucial role in skin moisturizing and normal functioning of the skin cells – fibroblasts, which, in turn, produce skin proteins, i.e. collagen and elastin. With age, the amount of hyaluronic acid reduces, which results in dry, sagging and non-elastic skin, as well as the appearance of wrinkles.

Recently, a copolymer called inulin lauryl carbamate, based on inulin (a naturally occurring polyfructose) has been synthesized. Besides having a high safety profile, inulin lauryl carbamate can emulsify high amounts of oil and several types of solid ingredients in water to create either high-viscosity emulsions or fluid ones.
