Multiple talents in any kind of cosmetics
Natural gums are safe, plant-based ingredients that bring stabilising, emulsifying, and texturing properties to cosmetics – from skincare to hair products. Natural gums can texture, tighten, moisturise, add silkiness and shine. What’s more, they also make great binding, suspension, adhesive and film-forming agents.
Natural gums are popular with formulators as safe natural ingredients that can be added to many different products, from eyeliners and lipsticks to lotions. They can also be used as emulsifiers in lotions and serums requiring specific textures. While always respecting the environment, as they are completely biodegradable.
Gums that meet demanding criteria
ISO 16128 provides guidelines to define natural and organic ingredients in cosmetic products, providing universally recognised terminology for organic and natural ingredients. Acacia and sterculia gums meet the requirements for “naturalness”.
Acacia and sterculia gums are COSMOS-certified. COSMOS certification guarantees that the production and processing methods used respect the environment and human health, support green chemistry, the responsible use of natural resources, biodiversity and recyclable packaging. It also indicates that no petrochemical ingredients have been used (excluding authorised preservatives): parabens, phenoxyethanol, synthetic fragrances and dyes, the absence of GMOS.
