Astragalus Gummifer Gum

Science & Benefits

Tragacanth is a natural gum exudate composed of a complex mixture of polysaccharides. In skincare, it acts as a natural rheology modifier that creates thick, luxurious, 'gel-like' textures. Beyond its function as a thickener, it serves as a powerful humectant that forms a flexible, breathable, and hydrating film on the skin. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. It is a superior 'clean-label' thickener for oil-free acne formulations, providing a sophisticated skin feel and a sustained release of moisture throughout the day.
