Guar gum is a polysaccharide and a natural food additive and thickening agent derived from the endosperm of the guar bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), which is a legume native to India and Pakistan. It is commonly used in the food industry for its thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties.It acts as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabiliser in many cosmetic formulations.

Guar gum has 8 times the water-thickening potency of cornstarch. It comes in a white powder and only a small concentration (0.5%-1%) is needed in cosmetic formulations to increase the viscosity of the final product.

Guar gum can be used in many skin care formulations:

In soaps to help achieve better emulsions, and as a whitening agent

In lotions, creams, and ointment recipes as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabiliser

In shampoos, conditioners, and liquid soaps to increase viscosity, and to allow solid particles to be suspended in the product

Dissolve in water and stir thoroughly. Guar gum has a high pH >9 in order to thicken the solution that contains the guar gum the pH has to be <7. Add a tiny amount of citric acid or concentrated lemon juice to reach a lower pH and the solution is thickening. Stir well, typical use level is 0.2-2%. For external use only
