When launching SOLAGUM™ TARA in 2012, Seppic was a pioneer in delivering sustainable and plant-based polymers substitute to synthetic ones. Anticipating the future of beauty a few years ago, SEPPIC has designed the SOLAGUM™ range to create clean beauty concepts: to support wellbeing without compromising health and the environment for a betterliving and a conscious beauty.
100% plant-based*, SOLAGUM™ TARA (INCI: Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum) is a high-purity polysaccharide derived from Tara seeds, non chemically modified that is readily biodegradable according to OECD 301F. It is obtained by mechanical process that guarantees an unaltered food grade quality ingredient and enables COSMOS and NATRUE certifications**. The Seppic’s Tara gum is in essence a non-microplastic polymer that widens the field of possibilities in cosmetics at a time of constraining regulations and high-challenging formulation.
The common belief that natural cosmetics cannot offer pleasant sensory experience is no longer admissible. Indeed, SOLAGUM™ TARA is a solution from Seppic to design natural, unctuous creamy consistent textures with elegant and comfortable skin-feel. When formulated in emulsions, Seppic’s Tara Gum delivers a more satisfying sensory with no sticky nor stringy effect compared to the same formulation with Xanthan gum.
It is actually more than a simple alternative to common natural thickeners as SOLAGUM™ TARA creates aqueous gels 5 times thicker than Xanthan gum with excellent stability to pH variation and resistance to electrolytes. Thanks to its non-ionic profile, SOLAGUM™ TARA is widely compatible with the majority of cosmetic ingredients enabling the design of versatile cosmetic applications.
Taking advantage of the well-known agrofood interaction between Xanthan and Tara gums, Seppic offers advanced synergy when combining SOLAGUM™ TARA with SOLAGUM™ AX (INCI: Acacia Senegal Gum and Xanthan Gum) to lower the total dose of polymer whilst enhancing the texture and stability, regardless of the type of formula : aqueous gels, cream-gels or emulsions.
Want to push the boundaries of formulation even more? Rely on Seppic’s expertise in polymers and create cross-synergy between natural SOLAGUM™ range and non-microplastic inherently biodegradable polymers SEPINOV™ EMT 10, SEPIMAX ZEN™ or eco-designed SEPILIFE™ NUDE. SOLAGUM™ will globally boost the viscosity and improve the electrolytes resistance while bringing a soft-skin naturality touch.
