Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba Gum (Guar Gum)

Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba Gum is a plant-derived polysaccharide obtained from guar beans and widely used in cosmetic formulations as a thickener, stabilizer, and rheology modifier for water-based systems. It builds viscosity, improves suspension of insoluble particles, and helps prevent phase separation, supporting consistent texture and long-term stability in emulsions and surfactant systems. With its characteristic slip and cushioning feel, it can enhance spreadability and contribute to a richer sensory profile, and is often combined with other gums or polymers to fine-tune flow, reduce tack, and optimize clarity. Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba Gum is commonly found in creams, lotions, serums, gels, masks, shampoos, conditioners, and styling products, as well as in natural/declarative formulations where plant-based thickening is desired. Use level and performance are formulation-dependent and typically optimized with pH, electrolyte content, and processing conditions to achieve the targeted viscosity and sensory finish.
