What is Polevan S? The uses of Polevan in cosmetics

What is Polevan S?

Polevan S is a substance derived from the discovery of Levan, initially found through the study of a traditional Japanese dish called Natto. This food is known for its health-enhancing properties and longevity benefits in Japan. Levan was discovered by Lippmann in 1881 as "lävulan" (levan), a rubbery residue from sugar syrup produced in sugar beet factories. In 1901, Greig-Smith coined the name "levan" based on its property of movement in polarized light.

The ingredients of Polevan S include Levan, Fructose, Glucose, Sucrose, and Aqua. Levan is a natural fructan found in many plants and microorganisms. Currently, levan is widely used in various industries such as food, beverages, cosmetics, and even medicine.

According to scientific reports on levan, it is a skin- and eye-friendly component, non-allergenic, non-irritating, and poses no threat of cellular toxicity. It is entirely benign and complies with safety principles, making it suitable for widespread use in manufacturing.
