Description

Description

Tragacanth Gum can be used as an emulsifier and thickening agent for cosmetic formulations such as lotions, creams, and gels. It is derived from the dried resin of several species of the Astragalus plant, a family of spiny shrubs that thrive in semi-arid regions.

The viscosity of this gum is stable in emulsions and gels with a pH range of 4 to 8, but it is most stable at a pH of around 2. Tragacanth gum is one of the most acid-resistant gums, but it must be fully hydrated before acids are added.
