INCI: Acacia Senegal Gum
Acacia gum is an excellent natural, sustainable, and versatile thickening agent for water-based formulations. It has a high solubility rate in water, up to 50%, which makes it a great choice for creating clear, stable formulas. It is also odourless, non-toxic and biodegradable, making it a safe and sustainable choice.
It is free of impurities and has a very low level of microbiological contamination due to pasteurisation. Acacia gum is also a GMO-free substance that is cultivated without the use of fertilisers or pesticides.
In addition to its thickening properties, Acacia gum can also bind ingredients together, stabilise emulsions, and be used as a suspension agent. This makes it a valuable tool for a wide range of formulating applications.
