Guar Gum, Cationic is a water-soluble, cationic polysaccharide derived from guar bean seeds through chemical modification (e.g., introduction of quaternary ammonium groups). It is a pale yellow to off-white powder with excellent thickening, conditioning, and anti-static properties. Its cationic charge allows strong interaction with negatively charged surfaces (e.g., hair, skin), making it a versatile ingredient in personal care formulations.
Elevate your beauty products with premium natural thickener derived from sustainable guar beans. Specially designed for cosmetic applications, cationic guar gum delivers exceptional viscosity control, superior conditioning properties, and enhanced texture for a wide range of personal care products.
As a natural thickener, Cationic Guar Gum is ideal for shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and skincare formulations. Its unique cationic charge provides excellent hair and skin substantivity, improving moisture retention, detangling performance, and overall sensory appeal. The result? Luxuriously smooth, manageable hair and silky-soft skin without synthetic additives.
Enhances viscosity in emulsions, gels, and surfactants systems, improving product texture and stability. Stabilizes suspensions and prevents ingredient separation.
Forms a protective film on hair strands, reducing frizz, static, and mechanical damage. Improves hair softness, manageability, and shine.
Creates a smooth, silky skin feel and aids in moisture retention, suitable for sensitive or dry skin formulas. Reduces friction during application.
Works well with anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants. Stable across a wide pH range (4–10) and in high-salt environments.
Dosage Range: 0.5–1.5% for thickening/stabilizing (higher concentrations for gels or thick creams) and 0.1–0.5% for conditioning/anti-static purposes.
Method: First hydrate in water or glycerin via slow stirring to avoid clumping before adding to the formulation. Suitable for cold or warm processing (stable at temperatures up
