Cymopsis tetragonolobus gum refers to the guar gum, the ground seed of the plant. The grey-white powder has 8 times the thickening capacity of starch.
The main components are water-soluble polysaccharides, proteins and saponins.
In cosmetic preparations Cymopsis tetragonolobus gum acts as a thickening agent. The guar flour binds cosmetic preparations containing powder and powdery substances; it supports the formation of emulsions and improves the stability and shelf life of emulsions. Furthermore, the guar flour forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied.
