Guar gum powder

Guar Gum is a naturally derived polysaccharide extracted from the seeds of the guar bean plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). Widely used in natural and organic skincare and haircare products, it serves as an effective thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifying aid.

This versatile ingredient is perfect for improving the texture and consistency of water-based formulations such as gels, shampoos, conditioners, creams, and lotions. It gives products a silky, smooth feel and helps stabilize emulsions to prevent separation. In rinse-off products like shampoo and body wash, Guar Gum also enhances the conditioning effect and leaves hair feeling soft and manageable.

Guar Gum hydrates easily in water and provides excellent viscosity even at low concentrations, making it a cost-effective and efficient choice for formulators.
