Guar Gum

Guar Gum (Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride) is a natural thickening agent sourced from the ground endosperm of the guar plant, Cyanopsis tetragonolobus, which predominantly grows in India and Pakistan during the months of July to December. Known for its water-solubility, Guar Gum adds body and texture to various formulations, making it an invaluable ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products. To ensure optimal blending, it is crucial to incorporate Guar Gum gradually into mixtures, stirring thoroughly after each addition to avoid clumping. This multifunctional ingredient is particularly effective in formulations that may face freezing temperatures, although it is best avoided in extreme heat or when mixed with high or low pH environments, as well as in combination with Borax or Calcium. Its unique properties make Guar Gum an essential choice for enhancing the performance and stability of cosmetic products.
