Solagum Ax (Natural Thickener) - Organic

Wat is Solagumâ„¢ AX?

Solagum Ax is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent. It is a combination of Acacia gum (from Africa) and Xanthan gum (from Europe). Together, these ingredients thicken and stabilize your DIY. Solagum is made through a spray drying process that combines the two ingredients. This is an efficient method of converting liquid ingredients into a fine, dry powder. This makes Solagum Ax easily dissolve in water and distributes evenly throughout your product, without lumps or a sticky feeling.

What are the benefits of Solagum Ax?

Easily soluble
Solagum dissolves easily in water and other liquids, making it easy to process DIY. The fine powder structure prevents clumping and distributes evenly throughout the formula. This makes it also suitable for cold processes. It dissolves quickly in both hot and cold water, faster than Xanthan gum alone.

Provides a silky texture
The combination of Acacia gum and Xanthan gum provides a smooth and creamy texture in creams, serums, and gels. It prevents stickiness and ensures that your DIYs feel wonderfully soft on the skin.

Binding & stabilizing
Solagum Ax acts as a thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer! It improves the spreadability of care products and ensures that other ingredients bind together better. The combination of Acacia gum and Xanthan gum keeps your formula stable and homogeneous. You only need a very small amount to create this effect.

Transparent gels
Solagum Ax creates clear, transparent gels, making it ideal for serums and hair gels.

A small amount is enough to give your product a nice texture and long-lasting stability. Solagum Ax is stable within pH range of 3 to 12, making it suitable for many DIY creations!
