Biosaccharide Gum-1 CAS 194237-89-3

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.

Typical Specifications

The commercial material is an aqueous fermentation gum, so active content and the preservation system are stated on the TDS for each lot rather than as a fixed figure here; the table below identifies the ingredient.

Packaging, Documents and Ordering

• Supplied in 5 kg and 25 kg plastic jerricans and drums and 1000 kg IBCs; keep sealed in a cool, dark place, avoid prolonged heat or freezing, and mix gently before use.
• Cosmetic grade, with TDS, COA and SDS for every lot and INCI and origin documentation available for registration and label work.
• For a quote, UATChem needs the formula type or application, quantity, packing and destination port.

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.
