Guar Gum (Responsibly Grown)

Guar gum is an excellent natural thickener for shampoos, conditioners, and liquid soaps. It can be used in almost all cosmetic type products due to its moisturizing and softening effects. Providing a smooth feel, it works well in shampoos to add conditioning properties.

Guar gum, also called guaran, has been grown and manufactured in India for centuries. Guar gum is a high molecular weight carbohydrate that works beautifully with most ingredients, specifically with cationic ingredients. It is composed of the hull (14-17%), the endosperm (35-42%) and the germ (43-47%) of the natural seed of the guar plant.
