Functions - Advanced Natural Polymer
  • Compatible rheology modifier
  • Unique gelation with polyols
  • Moisturizing effect

TAMAVISCO® is an “advanced” natural polymer that brings you fresh and new ideas. Not only showing stable viscosity as a basic rheology modifier with luxurious texture, it thickens amino acid-based surfactants, which are usually difficult to become viscous by ionic polymers. Furthermore, when used together with polyols like glycerin, TAMAVISCO® forms a fascinating elastic gel. The gel works as a thin film on the skin to keep moisture content.

TAMAVISCO® is highly purified tamarind seed gum. It can be dissolved into water without heating. The solution of TAMAVISCO® is transparent and provides natural,non-sticky texture.
