Guar Gum, Cationic

Guar Gum, Cationic (Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride) is a modified, naturally derived ingredient sourced from the seeds of the guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonolobus). This high-molecular weight quaternary polysaccharide stands out for its dual functionality, serving as both an effective thickener and a powerful conditioning agent. Notably, it enhances viscosity without gelling, making it an ideal choice for a range of cosmetic formulations. Additionally, when combined with surfactants, it can boost foam production, further enriching the user experience. Its unique quaternary structure provides enhanced conditioning benefits over regular guar gum, ensuring that hair and skin feel nourished and well-cared for.
