Biosaccharide Gum-1 CAS 194237-89-3
Biosaccharide Gum-1 (CAS 194237-89-3) is a water soluble polysaccharide made by fermentation from plant derived sugars. UATChem supplies it as a clear, colorless, slightly viscous liquid that blends into the water phase of cosmetic formulas. It binds moisture, leaves a light non-tacky film and helps calm sensitive skin while softening the feel of serums, creams, masks and cleansers, and it is mild enough for eye, baby and after sun products. It ships in 5 kg and 25 kg plastic drums and 1000 kg IBCs, with activity stated on the TDS. Send formula type, pack size and destination for TDS, COA and SDS.

What Biosaccharide Gum-1 Is
Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a branched, fucose rich polysaccharide produced by fermentation from plant derived sugars. UATChem supplies it as a clear, colorless viscous liquid that dissolves in water and goes into the water phase. It holds moisture, forms a light breathable film and has a soothing, mild profile, and it softens the tacky feel of glycerin rich formulas. It is a cosmetic grade material, with handling details on the TDS.
Skin Care and Personal Care Uses
- Hydration and film. In serums, gels and creams it binds water and leaves a thin, breathable film that cuts transepidermal water loss without feeling heavy or sticky.
- Soothing care. Its gentle, calming profile suits sensitive skin, eye area products, after sun and after shave lines, baby care and wet wipes.
- Sensory tuning. It reduces the tack and stringiness of glycerin and high humectant formulas and adds a smooth, light afterfeel to lotions, masks, sunscreens, cleansers and liquid foundations.
- Formulation fit. Water soluble and added to the water phase at moderate temperature, it works in most water based systems and pairs well with other fermentation gums such as hydrolyzed sclerotium gum.

FAQ
Q: Is biosaccharide gum-1 a liquid or a powder?
A: It is a clear, colorless viscous liquid; biosaccharide gum-1 is sold ready to use in water, not as a dry powder.
Q: How is biosaccharide gum-1 added to a formula?
A: Water soluble, biosaccharide gum-1 goes into the water phase at moderate temperature, away from high heat or strong shear.
Q: What does biosaccharide gum-1 do for sensitive skin?
A: It binds moisture, films lightly and calms irritation, so biosaccharide gum-1 suits sensitive, eye, baby and after sun care.
