Guar gum is a naturally occurring biodegradable polysaccharide composed of galactose and mannose sugars and is obtained from the seeds of the leguminous plant Guar beans (Cyamopsis Tetragonolobathat) also known as Guaran, Gwar, Cluster beans or Siam beans which are cultivated extensively in India. The name Guar is derived from the Sanskrit word which means "feed for cows". Guar gum powder finds its application in various industries that range from food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and toiletries due to its properties of emulsifying, thickening, stabilizing, moisturizing, softening, conditioning and whitening.
Nowadays this super ingredient is used to formulate a wide range of personal care products such as toothpaste, lotions, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lipsticks, shaving creams, ointments, etc. Only a small amount of Guar gum powder is needed to increase the viscosity of a product as it has 8 times the water-thickening potency of corn starch, therefore making it one of the most economical and effective thickening agents.
We at Indo Arts International follow the best practices to bring you 100% pure Guar gum powder obtained from the endosperm of seeds sourced from organically grown Guar bean plants in India and processed and tested in well-maintained and well-equipped certified labs.
