Acacia Gum Powder is derived from the sap exudate of Acacia senegal trees and consists of a complex mixture of polysaccharides and glycoproteins. In formulations, it functions as a thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, and film-forming agent, supporting viscosity control and emulsion stability. It is suitable for creams, lotions, serums, masks, shampoos, and color cosmetics such as mascaras and foundations to improve texture and application properties.
