Opis
Guar Gum – natural polysaccharide with thickening power
Guar Gum in cosmetic formulations is appreciated for the smooth, creamy texture it imparts to products, as well as for the conditioning effect it leaves on the skin and hair, a thin, protective film that improves tactile feel. It is a natural, easy-to-use ingredient suitable for gels, creams, and lotions, as well as cleansing products.
It is obtained by grinding the endosperm of the seeds of the leguminous plant Cyamopsis tetragonoloba. Its moisturizing polysaccharide structure gives it an excellent capacity to thicken aqueous phases, even cold, without requiring heat for dissolution.
Ingredients (INCI): Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba Gum
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Fine powder, off-white/yellowish color; almost odorless
- Solubility: Soluble in water
- Quality: Superior-grade guar gum with a high content of active polysaccharide; strict purity and microbiological specifications
- Recommended Dosage: 0.1 - 2%, depending on the desired viscosity and texture
Scientific Documentation and Studies
In specialized cosmetic formulation literature, guar gum is known to be a long-chain galactomannan capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water so efficiently that it thickens aqueous solutions at very low concentrations, unlike other polymers that require heat or higher concentrations to achieve a similar effect. It is stable across a broad pH range, making it suitable for many types of formulations, from gels to cleansing products.
Properties and Benefits
- Efficient thickener even at low concentrations, without requiring heat
- Stabilizer for emulsions and suspensions
- Conditioning effect, leaves a fine, protective film on the skin and hair
- Contributes to a velvety, creamy texture in the finished product
- Compatible with surfactants, helping to improve foam stability in cleansing products
- 100% natural ingredient, of plant origin
Applications
- Gels and lotions with a thickened texture
- Shampoos and hair cleansing products, where it also contributes to the conditioning effect
- Shower gels and liquid soaps, as a stabilizer and foam enhancer
- Creams and emulsions, as a stabilizing agent for the aqueous phase
Formulation Guide
- Disperse directly into the aqueous phase at ambient temperature under continuous stirring until fully hydrated
- Does not require heat to dissolve, but tolerates standard cosmetic processing temperatures
- Gradual dispersion is recommended to avoid clumping
- Stable across a wide pH range (3-10), allowing use in various formulations
- At low concentrations (0.2 - 0.5%), a subtle stabilizing effect is achieved; at higher concentrations (1 - 2%), the thickening effect becomes pronounced, resulting in a gel-like texture
Usage Safety and Storage
- Profile: Safe ingredient with good skin tolerance
- Precautions: External cosmetic use
- Storage: Store in a closed container in a cool, dry place, protected from light

just like xanthan gum (which I usually use), acacia and guar gums are very suitable for stabilizing and gelling liquid compositions (used following the instructions); for my beginner level, I wouldn't say I see much difference between them (obviously leaving aside specific characteristics; acacia gels less)
I bought this gum because I got more pigments, which I want to diversify my eyelid pencils with. Very good results so far.
GOOD PRODUCT IN COMBINATION WITH XANTHAN OR OTHER GUMS.IMI LIKE TO USE IT IN PRODUCTS WITH TENSIDE WHERE IT REDUCES THE DRYNESS THAT THEY CREATE ON THE SKIN.
Guar gum in combination with xanthan gum have synergistic action, but guar gum does not leave the solution transparent but opaque.
It can be used in synergy with xanthan gum 1:1 to also help intensify the foam based on tenside products
Guar gum fungerer perfekt, hvis der er behov for at gøre en blanding lidt tykkere. Men tilsæt kun meget lidt ad gangen - det er virkelig effektivt!
I ordered this product to prepare a deodorant according to a recipe on the website; the powder is very fine, I am very satisfied with the result.
I use it when formulating gel deodorants. Easy to use, forms a nice gel, just need a little patience ( 10-15 min) until it gels.
Guar gum is an excellent moisturizer that creates a protective film on the face. Therefore, I like to add it in small quantities to my homemade gels, shampoos and soaps.
So far I've been using it to gel the aloe vera liquor to create a skin gel. It is good, quite easy to use.
I have used it so far when formulating deodorant-gel with Alaun ( Elemental recipe), in ball containers. I am very pleased with the result, especially because the gel does not remain sticky on the skin and I can incorporate essential oils into the alum stone deodorants.
I really liked the texture and viscosity of the cream. I use it in the creams I prepare for my skin and I am satisfied.
For toothpaste. This product dissolves more easily and quickly in warm water. I use it in many body care products. I especially liked the toothpaste!
I started experimenting with various gel recipes and found it suitable, economical and above all cheap. You have to add it in a drizzle and mix vigorously, possibly with a mixer, otherwise it dissolves hardly. Otherwise it's perfect. It does its job very well. I now have an anti-wrinkle gel that is very pleasant to the touch and refreshing.
Guar gum is a low-cost substance with remarkable properties. I use it as a thickening and gelling agent for the production of moisturizing and skin cleansing products .
I have formulated different products with this ingredient, it works very easily with it. Superior quality.
