Acacia Senegal Gum

Also known as: Gum Arabic, Acacia Gum

Acacia Senegal Gum is a natural gum derived from the sap of the Acacia Senegal tree. In cosmetics, it primarily functions as a thickening agent, helping to create desired textures in formulations. It can also act as a film former, providing a light, invisible layer on the skin or hair.
