INGREDIENT OVERVIEW

Sclerotium Gum Powder

Sclerotium gum is a natural polysaccharide used in cosmetic formulations to create smooth, stable gel systems with a refined sensory profile.

It is commonly used in serums, gels, and emulsions where a soft, non-tacky finish is desired. Compared to traditional gums, it provides a more elegant texture and improved skin feel.

In formulation, it functions as a rheology modifier and thickener, helping to build viscosity, stabilise systems, and improve overall product performance.

Our grade is supplied as a high-purity powder with controlled microbiological profile, supporting consistent formulation results.
