Description - Guar Gum, also known as Guaran, is a powerful plant-derived polysaccharide extracted from the seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba. Revered for its exceptional viscosity and multifunctionality, it serves as a natural thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, and conditioning agent in luxurious skin, hair, and oral care formulations.
