Product Info:
Guar Gum is a natural thickening, stabilizing, and conditioning agent derived from the guar bean. It enhances viscosity and provides a smooth, gel-like consistency in cosmetic formulations while improving the texture and stability of emulsions. It is widely used in skincare and haircare products, such as creams, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners, to provide a rich and creamy feel. Guar Gum is also known for its excellent compatibility with surfactants, making it a preferred choice for cleansing formulations.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Disperse into warm water with continuous stirring to prevent clumping.
- Allow full hydration before adding other ingredients.
- Suitable for creams, lotions, serums, shampoos, conditioners, and cleansing gels.
- Can be combined with other thickeners like Xanthan Gum or Hydroxyethyl Cellulose for improved stability.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
