Acacia Gum - also known as Gum Arabic - is a 100% natural, plant‑based thickener and film‑forming ingredient derived from the Acacia tree. Widely used in skincare, cosmetic formulations, and DIY beauty products, this versatile gum helps stabilise emulsions, increase viscosity, and improve product texture, making it ideal for masks, serums, lotions, and gels.
Because it is fully water‑soluble, Acacia Gum should be added to the water phase when creating emulsions. Its gentle, skin‑friendly profile makes it suitable for all skin types, and as a vegan, natural ingredient, it’s perfect for clean beauty and botanical formulations.
Enhance your products with this reliable, multifunctional ingredient that supports smooth textures, improved stability, and high‑quality formulations.
