Acacia gum for cosmetics.
Film former, emulsion stabiliser, texturiser and fixative: acacia gum is a versatile natural ingredient for skin care, make-up and hair care. It is 100% plant-based and traced from Chad to your laboratory.
A natural ingredient for demanding formulas.
In cosmetics, acacia gum is listed under the INCI name Acacia Senegal Gum. It forms a light film on skin and hair, stabilises emulsions and gives body to textures.
It meets the growing demand for naturally derived ingredients: it is a tree exudate, 100% plant-based, with no animal derivatives, hand-harvested and sun-dried.
For brands, raw material traceability has become a selling point in its own right. We document every lot from harvest in Chad to delivery.
