Product Highlights

• The growing consumer appetite for green and natural based cosmetic products provides new challenges for formulators.
• ESAFLOR® HM 22 is a unique hydrophobically modified bio-based polymer that can be incorporated into a wide range of personal care applications in need of emulsifying or stabilizing, delivering innovative character to the formulation design, even at low concentrations.
• The backbone of ESAFLOR® HM 22 is the guar gum, a renewable and sustainable polysaccharide extracted from the Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba plant.
• ESAFLOR® HM 22 enables formulators to achieve a variety of textures, from milks and lotions up to thick creams, and can provide an attractive design in combination with the most commonly used emulsifiers.
• In translucent water-based solution, ESAFLOR® HM 22 not only performs an excellent thickener but also increases the yield point of the system, providing the dual benefit of a stabilizer and suspending agent.
• Beyond its functionality, due to its polymeric structure, this guar derivative conveys pleasing texture and tactile sensations, leaving a soft silk feeling after application.

Summary of Benefits

• Emulsification-aid and stabilizer
• Excellent thickener
• Suspending agent
• Stable over wide pH range
• Superior electrolytes tolerance
• Bio-based: natural origin and sustainable source

Applications Benefits

• Liquid crystal emulsions: enhanced stabilization, lighter and less oily texture compared to Xanthan Gum
• Polyglycerol-based emulsifiers: several textures can be obtained, even without any other consistency factor
• Non-ionic emulsifiers: emulsifiers’ content can be reduced, improving texture and skin feel
• Polymeric emulsifiers: enhanced stabilization, also in presence of electrolytes, to achieve textures ranging from lotions to thick creams.
