Laminaran is also widely known as laminarin or leucosin. Laminarin is a glucan polysaccharide made up of β(1→3)‐glucan with β(1→6)‐branches with a β(1→3):β(1→6) in the ratio of 3:1. They are obtained from brown seaweeds Laminaria japonica, E. kurome, Eiseniabicyclis, Saccharina, Ascophyllum, Fucus, Sargassum, and Undaria species. Several reports have confirmed to have anticancerous, anti‐inflammatory, anticoagulant, and antioxidant properties in laminarin extracts of seaweeds [87]. Laminarin is widely used as filler composition in cosmetic products for the treatment of wrinkles, folds, and as anti‐cellulite agents [98, 99].
