What is HYDROXYPROPYL GUAR used for?

Hydroxypropyl Guar has many uses in personal care and cosmetics. It is quite beneficial for hair and is also added to makeup in order to provide texture.

Hair care: It is commonly used in hair care products due to its conditioning and thickening properties. When used in shampoos and conditioners, Hydroxypropyl Guar helps to improve the texture and manageability of hair, leaving it feeling soft and silky. It also helps to reduce tangling and breakage. Additionally, Hydroxypropyl Guar is often used as a film-forming agent, which helps to protect hair from environmental stressors and prevent damage from heat styling tools
Cosmetic products: Used as a thickener and stabilizer in a variety of formulations. It has the ability to provide a smooth and consistent texture to creams and lotions. It is also used as a suspending agent in cosmetics such as makeup and sunscreen, helping to keep particles evenly distributed throughout the product

Origin

Hydroxypropyl Guar is made by modifying guar gum with hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride (GHTC) through a chemical reaction. The addition of GHTC increases the water solubility and cationic charge of guar gum, resulting in an improved performance in hair care products. The modified Hydroxypropyl Guar is then dried and processed into a fine powder.
