  It stops things sticking to each other? Oh yes I remember now, it was that case involving the model, it was in Cosmetic Times. She used the first formula without the inulin and after sitting down for hours wearing short shorts, when she got up her thighs were stuck together so she fell over and hurt herself.

  Oh really?  How interesting! This also interesting about inulin as the claims are that inulin is good hair conditioner. So if it is anti adherence agent, how will this help in hair conditioning? Will prevent hair from sticking to each other?

  The inulin is a prebiotic polysaccharide which is food for probiotics which in turn inhibit attachment of pathogens at least in the gut but doubtful it works on skin.Note there is no preservative in the formula! I would not trust the former mechanism in place of a functional preservative.

  Interesting. I have some inulin here. If you take it as a food supplement, you could run a small motorcycle off the er, exhaust output…

  DRBOB@VERDIENT.BIZ  the formula is from google patent, i haven’t even noticed the preservative, here it
  is https://www.google.tl/patents/EP2217288A2?cl=en

  Belassi, i am actually surprised you’ve not used the inulin yet <span>:smile:</span>, as i thought you’ve used every possible thing in your haircare line ! i like and following your posts on f/b and here too!
  Was wondering which stevia extract do you use in your shampoo(was it a shampoo) as i use green stevia- instead of sugar in my diet, and the green one is…well…green! not for blonde hair, i guess as well as your coffee shampoo, that was not meant for blondes, right?

  Stevia? I use 97.5% pure glycoside, it’s a white powder.
  I hadn’t thought as to whether the coffee shampoo was OK for blondes but I now see your point!
  I will try the inulin and see if I can detect any difference.
  I see from the patent that the formula as given is incomplete (eg preservatives)
