Guar Gum is derived from the ground endosperm of the guar plant, Cyanmopsis tetragonolobus belonging to the family Leguminosae. The guar plant is mainly grown in India and Pakistan from the month of July to December. At harvest time, the seeds are extracted from the pod of the plant and then ground into guar gum.

Guar Gum is water soluble. When adding Guar Gum to a mixture it is best to add small quantities at a time. Be sure to stir for a while after each addition. If Guar Gum is added too quickly or in large quantities, it will gel or clump together. Guar Gum works well in mixtures that freeze but not in extreme heat or in pH (above pH8 or below pH5). Do not use if your formula contains Borax or Calcium.

Just beggining to be used to with this material. My 1st attempt to thick hand soap ended-up with a creamy body lotion instead as I put too much of it in my soap... Now I know how little I need to get the right thing done !

Very little goes a long way! Guar gum is a great little thickener. I use only 0.5% in my body lotions (along with 5% Polawax). It seems to cut down the overall oiliness of a lotion/cream a tiny little bit.

For me the combination of guar and xantan gums works perfectly in lotions and creams. Unlike other thickeners like chitosan guar gum is absolutely not cranky, it works well in both hot, cool and warm water, does not care much about ph - ideal for stable emulsions.

Guar gum is an excellent thickener. Also, I tried it as an emulsifier and I got perfect results when making creams and lotions. It is much easier to use than beeswax and you need very little!

As everything the products which I have buy at NDA, quality is very good and effect beyond my hopes. This thickening agent is a great add in my lotion and cream formulas, I even use it un my soap as pigment whitening. It is so great in production of dusty making-up.

Like all of the products that I have purchased from New Directions this is a high quality form of Guar Gum which was packed in dry condition. This is a great thickening agent in my cream formulas.
