Guar gum also called guaran, is a galactomannan polysaccharide a natural fiber extracted from guar beans plant. It is used to stabilize and thicken food and cosmetics preparations.Guar gum can increase emulsion stability and prevent water loss and the separation of liquid from a gel.In hair care, it can lubricate and improve product glide when used in shampoos and other hair products.Solubile in water, glycerin. Not soluble in alcohol, acetoneFormulating Tip: Guar gum can be pre-dispersed in glycerin or propylene glycol and then immediately added to the water phase with mixing. It can also be added to the oil phase and heated together with oil and oil soluble ingredients before creating an emulsion. Once guar gum is fully hydrated, the resulting solution can be heated if necessary for the inclusion of other ingredients.Suggested usage rate-0.1-2%Appearance: white to off white powderFood grade*Guar gum does not form a clear solution as a thickening agent.
