Carboxylmethyl hydroxypropyl guar is a product used in cosmetic preparations (the flour of the guar bean is called guar). The substance supports the formation of emulsions, improves the stability and shelf life of emulsions. Carboxylmethyl hydroxypropyl guar also acts as a viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and binder.
