CFI Guar Gum - Food Grade is a versatile powdered ingredient used to thicken, stabilise, and improve texture in food and DIY personal care formulations. It is especially useful in creams, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps, and similar recipes where a smoother, more viscous finish is wanted. This is a raw formulation ingredient, not a ready-made cosmetic product. It can also be used in selected food applications where a plant-based thickening or texturising aid is needed.

♡ Why we love it: Guar gum is one of those practical ingredients that quietly improves a formula without fuss. It is especially handy for DIY makers who want better texture, body, and stability in both food and personal care recipes.

This product is certified: Food Grade and Vegan.
