LOCUST BEAN GUM (CAROB GUM)

Sourcing: Locust bean gum is obtained from the endosperm of the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), a tree typical of the Mediterranean. It is a 100% plant-derived natural polysaccharide that comes as a white to yellowish-white powder.

Benefits: It works as a natural thickener and texture modifier, helping to give body and stability to gels, lotions and emulsions. It provides a pleasant sensory feel and makes it possible to achieve transparent or slightly translucent finishes. It also helps condition the skin and control viscosity, and stands out as a natural alternative to synthetic thickeners.
