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.
