- Key Features
- Emulsification-aid for O/W emulsions, with excellent thickening and stabilising properties.
- Good compatibility with electrolytes.
- Smooth skin feel.
- 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.
