Guar Gum
Guar Gum is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the endosperm of the guar bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). It appears as an off-white to cream-colored powder with a neutral odor and bland taste. Guar Gum is a galactomannan composed mainly of mannose and galactose units, known for its excellent water-binding, thickening, and stabilizing properties. It forms highly viscous solutions even at low concentrations, making it a versatile hydrocolloid used widely across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, oilfield, and industrial applications.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Hydrogenated Castor Oil, also known as castor wax, is a hard, brittle, and high-melting-point wax derived by the hydrogenation of pure castor oil. This white to off-white, odorless substance is non-toxic and insoluble in water but dispersible in surfactant systems. Its primary component is hydrogenated ricinoleic acid triglyceride, and it is prized for its excellent lubricating, emulsifying, thickening, and consistency-enhancing properties.
Due to its stability, non-reactivity, and film-forming capability, Hydrogenated Castor Oil is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals, industrial lubricants, coatings, plastics, and more. It improves product texture, enhances emulsion stability, and provides moisture retention in skincare applications.
Xantham Gum
Xanthan Gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It is widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent in various industries due to its excellent viscosity properties, even at low concentrations. Xanthan Gum imparts improved texture, consistency, and shelf life to finished products, making it indispensable in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial formulations.
