To coincide with the Beyond Beauty Event (Paris, Sept. 10-12, 2012), Seppic is launching its new thickening and texturizing polymer of 100% plant origin: Solagum Tara.


This natural gum is a polysaccharide derived from Tara seeds, an emblematic shrub native to the Andean valleys of Peru. It can be used to thicken and stabilize emulsions and cream-gels, and also acts as a texturizing agent by providing them with a structuring effect and soft feel. Marketed as a powder that hydrates instantly in water, this non-ionic polysaccharide can be used hot or cold.




Solagum Tara is recommended for medium or thick consistency formulations in concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2%. It completes Seppic’s range of natural polymers, including Solagum AX (based on acacia and xanthan), designed for formulas with thinner consistencies.
