ESAFLOR® PFT is a cationic bio-based derivative of guar gum, specifically developed for clear formulations. It is characterized by moderate aqueous viscosity and optimal compatibility with surfactant systems. It offers light conditioning properties, ideal for volumizing and conditioning shampoos. At the same time it improves hair brightness. In skin cleansing formulations, such as shower gels, body washes and liquid soaps, it can increase mildness towards skin.

Applications Benefits

ESAFLOR® cationic guar derivatives are truly multipurpose ingredients:

• Conditioning effect:Their cationic charge can interact with keratin, leaving skin silky and soft, and hair easy to comb. They can also reduce the negative effects of harsh soaps and surfactants.
• Foam boosting: Foaming properties of surfactants can be increased, improving the sensory appeal of rinseoff products.
• Thickening: Viscosity of formulas can be enhanced thanks to guar polymeric nature.
• Optimized actives delivery: Delivery of water-insoluble ingredients onto hair and skin can be enhanced, with a co-deposition mechanism.
