Guar conditioning gum is a water-soluble cationic powder derived from guar gum. It is substantive to the hair and has softening and conditioning benefits, without leaving build-up. It forms a protective barrier on the hair and helps control flyaway and frizzy hair. It also promotes shine to the hair.

In skin care products, Guar Conditioning Gum confers softness to the skin.

It adds viscosity and stability to products such as gels and serums.

It is compatible with anionic and amphoteric systems.

To use: Add to water at room temperature and stir well to agitate the water. Mix until dispersed. Adjust pH to 7.0 with citric acid, if required. Continue mixing for 15 minutes until full viscosity is reached. Guar may also be mixed with glycerin prior to incorporating into the water phase or into a water-based product.
