Guar Gum – 100ml
Natural Thickener and Stabilizer for Cosmetics and Soap Making
Guar Gum is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the guar bean, widely used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in cosmetic, skincare, and soap formulations. Thanks to its excellent water-binding properties, Guar Gum enhances the texture, viscosity, and shelf life of creams, lotions, shampoos, and liquid soaps.
Because it hydrates quickly and forms smooth gels, Guar Gum improves product consistency without adding heaviness or stickiness. Additionally, it helps suspend particles and botanicals evenly, ensuring a uniform product appearance and performance.
