Description
Galactomannan derived from hydrolysed Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum (Tara).
Tara’s fruit contains 4 to 7 seeds; 30% of each seed is composed of endosperm (albumen), the part of the nutritive reserve for the initial development of the embryo.
From this nutritive reserve, composed of 80% mannose and galactose polysaccharides called galactomannans (the rest is water, proteins, minerals and fiber), a hydrocolloid or natural biopolymer known as Tara Gum is obtained.
The galactomannan is a sequenstial delivery system of hydrating agent into the stratum corneum. It gives immediate and long lasting moisture to our skin.These small moisturizing agents integrated into the stratum corneum act synergically with the NMF (natural moisturising factor) to improve the amount of retained water (physiological factor). By moisturizing from the most interior layers, the moisturizing effect can be maintained longer.
Its immediate and rinse-off moisturizing effects make is suitable for basic moisturizing formulations aimed at body or facial care such as shower gels, body milks and hand creams.
✓ Its cumulative and long-lasting moisturizing effects make it suitable for specific products to treat dry, damaged or aged skin.
✓ Its desquamation regulatory activity and cellular cohesion restoring properties make it suitable for formulations aimed at improving the skin appearance (smoother, finer, more flexible).
✓ Its high moisturizing capacity also makes it suitable for hair products, like shampoo or hair lotions, to improve some physical properties of hair, such as fragility (Schueller et al. 2000).
