I used the gum in a serum for the area around the eyes, it did the job, it's a very good and natural binding agent.
like xanthan gum (which I usually use), acacia and guar gums are also 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)
For the eye putty I used one for it worked very well, I will definitely repeat the recipe for other eye putty colors.
I'm thinking of trying my hand at mascara, and I saw that this ingredient is also needed. I have sensitive eyes and can't use just any commercial mascara.
We can't wait to use Acacia gum in our new recipes! We find it very helpful in formulating them!
It is an excellent product for the tensor effect, it should be left to moisturize for 30 minutes at 60 degrees.
Smoothes and cares for my skin very well. It's very handy, easy to use with the mascara I'm making.
It can be used in combination with xanthan gum in a 1:1 ratio to give a smoother gel wash. Add after mixing the water with the surfactants, ideally solubilized in glycerine or propylene glycol beforehand
I use acacia gum in making gels. I find it much better than xanthan gum, I will definitely use it instead of xanthan.
For eyes. I've done a variety of things for my eyes. Now I want to try making mascara. I think it will work.
Dissolved in water, it does not thicken or form a consistent gel. Once dry, it leaves a rigid film on the skin. It is therefore particularly indicated in the formulation of mascara and eyeliner and hair fixative, or is also used in the production of creams and lotions.
Hello, the gum dissolves in water very quickly in the concentration of 2% is not difficult to disperse, the solution is colored slightly yellowish, is compatible with many products and resistant to acid ph. The tensor effect is felt on the skin
