SOLAGUM™ TARA

SOLAGUM™ TARA is a pure non-ionic Tara gum with thickening capability for medium to thick consistencies. This 100% natural origin polymer is suitable to all cosmetic applications thanks to its wide compatibility with other ingredients and offers immediate hydration into water enabling cold process formulation.

Multifunctional, SOLAGUM™ TARA also texturizes, improving sensory with an elegant touch. With similar performance to HEC and a better sensory & naturality profile, SOLAGUM™ TARA is the ideal polymer to replace Hydroxyethylcellulose!

SOLAGUM™ TARA is readily biodegradable.

Characteristics

SOLAGUM™ TARA is a polymer of choice for medium to thick consistencies in natural formulas, for boosting viscosity effect while improving naturality level and for its very nice sensory.

INCI : Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum

Properties

• Excellent resistance to electrolytes
• Not pH sensitive
• Excellent compatibility in formulation (non ionic)
• Viscosity booster when in presence of SEPIMAX ZEN™,  SEPINOV EMT™ 10 or SEPINOV™ WEO
