Vegetal gums for natural cosmetics!
Consumers of cosmetic products search for natural, simple and ethical products with shortened ingredients lists and organic certification. Nowadays, more transparency is expected from cosmetic brands. Totally in line with today’s trends, acacia and sterculia gums are natural, safe and healthy.
Their functional properties make it possible to respond to the market evolutions. 100% biodegradable, they are also considered sustainable, as the wild trees from which they are harvested have a positive impact on soil fertility, water cycles and local biodiversity.
Functional properties and versatility of applications
Acacia and sterculia gums have properties essential to the formulations of natural care products. From mascaras, eye-liners and lipsticks to lotions by way of creams and haircare products, vegetal gums are considered by formulators as natural, completely harmless and healthy ingredients. Thanks to their viscosity, rheological and texturing properties, they bring stability and texture to cosmetics. They can also be used as emulsifiers in lotions or serums which require specific textures.
According to Lucie Birchler, cosmetic expert in the R&D team of Alland & Robert, “the properties of natural gums can be used as emulsifiers, texturing agents, tightening agents, technological aids, film-forming agents, suspensoid agents and sensory improvers.”
