Konjac Powder (Responsibly Grown)

Konjac Powder is perfect for creating a variety of bath, body, skin and hair care products that require gelling/texturizing effects similar to those provided by synthetic polymers. It can help formulate clear, stable gels that maintain a soft and pleasing feel, without any tackiness, while providing a clean, plant-based ingredient option that appeals to the natural category.

This Responsibly Grown Konjac is rich in protein, lipids, fatty acids, plus vitamins A, B, C, D, & E, and natural minerals such as copper, zinc and magnesium. With this powerful combination of natural ingredients and gentle thickening ability, Konjac Powder also shines for use in the skin care arena as an exciting plant-based ingredient alternative to synthetic polymers, such as carbomer.

Konjac Powder is a water-soluble ground powder of the Asiatic tuber, Amorphophallus konjac, a perennial plant belonging to the Araceae family, and used for over 1,500 years. The main component of Konjac powder is the polysaccharide, Glucomannan, which has about ten times the thickening power of cornstarch.
