Caution
Guar Gum Powder, also known as Goma Guar, Gauran, or Gomme Gua, is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the guar or cluster bean. This off-white, odorless, and water-soluble powder is widely used in the cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries for its exceptional emulsifying, stabilizing, and viscosity-enhancing properties.
In cosmetic formulations, Guar Gum Powder helps improve texture, thickness, and spreadability, making it ideal for shampoos, conditioners, face masks, lotions, and soaps. It acts as a natural binder and emulsifier, ensuring product stability and a smooth, uniform finish.
