Information

Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum is a natural polysaccharide derived from the seeds of the Caesalpinia spinosa tree, commonly known as the Tara tree. This gum is valued in the skincare industry for its unique gelling and thickening properties, making it a versatile ingredient in various formulations.

Where does it come from?

Caesalpinia Spinosa, the tree from which this gum is extracted, is native to the Andean regions of South America, particularly Peru. The tree grows in arid, high-altitude environments, and its seeds have been traditionally used by indigenous peoples for their various beneficial properties.

What are the benefits?

MOISTURIZING TEXTURE STABILIZING

What are the benefits?

  • Moisturizing: It has hydrating properties can lock moisture in the skin. It forms a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, holding moisture and keeping the skin hydrated and smooth.
  • Thickening Agent: It is an excellent thickening agent, providing viscosity and contributing to the texture of skincare products. It can create a thick, luxurious feel without making the product too heavy or greasy.
  • Stabilization: It can stabilize emulsions, keeping the blend of oil and liquid components in formulations. This ensures that products remain homogeneous and potent throughout their shelf life.
  • Spreadability: By contributing to the consistency of formulations and the spreadability of skincare products. This makes them easier to apply and ensures an even distribution of active ingredients on the skin.

How is it used in our products?

Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum is used in B14 SOS Olive Leaf Skin Gel from OLIVEDA and in Hydroxytyrosol SOS Rescue Gel from "is that Matty?". Its inclusion contributes to hydration, soothes the skin, and provides a smooth texture. Its rejuvenating benefits create a tightening effect, diminishing the signs of maturing skin.  This natural gum stabilizes the gel, contributes to its spreadability, and ensures that the active ingredients are easily absorbed into the skin, making the serum both potent and comfortable to use.
