Neck & Body Serum
A minimalist, silky formulation with a premium non-tacky after-feel.
A highly versatile thickener
Extracted from the endosperm of the guar bean, AURIST™ GHI forms high viscosity solutions at low concentration, and can be blended with other hydrocolloids, in particular Xanthan gum. It is the ideal thickener for leave on formulas and can be used as sensory enhancer in rinse off.
Enhanced Sensory
Based on a sensory evaluation by expert panel testing, the combination of AURIST™ GHI and xanthan gum can help reduce stickiness.
Synergies with other gums
The combination of AURIST™ GHI and xanthan gum can deliver higher viscosity than xanthan gum alone, reducing the total amount of polymer in the final formula.
Suitable for intimate care
Adding AURIST™ GHI to a formula provides improved lubricating properties. Moreover, AURIST™ GHI is stable in a wide pH range and in presence of cationic compounds.
A modern formulation tool
Leveraging synergy between Guar and Xanthan gums
Natural polymers have long been used as rheology, sensory, and texture modifiers. Guar gum is a polymer extracted from the endosperm of the Guar bean. In this article, we discuss guar gum’s rheological behavior and application as a thickener in different types of cosmetic formulations. We also investigate how the synergistic combination of Guar gum and Xanthan gum results in enhanced viscosity. The wide pH range and cationic components compatibility, together with its unique sensory profile, make the underused guar gum a very promising ingredient for the thickening of various beauty and personal care products.
Synergistic effect of AURIST™ GHI
| The synergistic interaction of xanthan and guar gums form stronger associations than the individual ingredients alone. | Additionally, the viscosity of 1% xanthan can be achieved with 0,5% of the AURIST™ GHI/Xanthan combo. |
