Sclerotium Gum Powder

Sclerotium gum is a sugar-based natural ingredient. This gel-like polysaccharide ingredient is widely used in the cosmetic industry. It is obtained by fermenting the fungus called Sclerotium rolfsii. This ingredient is used to stabilize and thicken various cosmetic formulas. It can also be used for skin care formulations for skin conditioning.

You can also use this ingredient as an alternative for carbomer and other synthetic gelling factors. This ingredient is also considered suspending agents. It keeps heavier ingredients in a product to sink to the bottom.

Recommended Usage Rate

As a reliable sclerotium gum supplier in China, we make sure that our product is safe and cosmetic-grade. Depending on your formula needs, you can use this ingredient with 0.25-2% concentration level.

Sclerotium gum can dissolve completely in cold water. In large-scale production, it can be pre-dispersed and dissolved with polyols.

– It is shear-stable and heat-resistant, and can remain stable in a wide range of pH formulations. It may thin out in strongly ionic formulas, in which case the usage amount can be increased.

– It needs to be pre-dispersed into a 2% gel system and then directly added to the aqueous phase of emulsions, creams, and cleansing formulations. It is particularly suitable for use in facial masks, essences, and other cosmetic skincare products.

Technical Specifications

How Baisifu Sources and Processes Sclerotium Gum Powder Process

We make sclerotium gum powder by fermenting a naturally occurring fungus that grows in the ground. During the production process, we culture the fungus into clean, sterile rooms so that it doesn’t get contaminated. Once it has created the gum, we dry and grind it into a fine powder.

Ideally, the process of making this bio-based gum powder is natural and does not involve many processing. Therefore, this makes our sclerotium gum powder for cosmetics an ideal pick when you want an eco-friendly ingredient label. The method also ensures consistent performance, so your batches are consistent.

Physical and Chemical Characteristics

Compatibility with Other Ingredients

Sclerotium gum powder is stable in various kinds of formulations. You can blend it with oils, plant extracts, or actives without compromising stability. That makes it the best choice when you desire multi-functional product bases.

You can also blend it with other gums or stabilizers for improved thickening. This gives richer, more luxurious product textures. It even blends easily into hot or cold systems without compromising the results. For instance, it is among the key ingredients that work well with retinol or ceramides.

Common Applications in Product Development

Sclerotium gum powder has a wide range of applications across the cosmetic industry. As your leading cosmetic ingredients supplier in China, Baisifu strives to give power to diversify in your product niche.

With this cosmetic ingredient, your factory can produce:

· Creams and Lotions

It allows you to create smooth, rich, and stable textures that provide even spreading. Besides, this product maintains emulsions in a stable state, enhances skin feel and provides a richer sensory experience with each use.

· Serums

Maintains viscosity without compromising clarity or sensation of the skin. It provides easy, light applications with active ingredients firmly held in place for repeated results.

· Shampoos and Conditioners

Makes the liquid thicker, so it feels richer in your hands. It spreads through hair easily, coats each strand well, and leaves hair feeling softer after rinsing.

· Face Masks

It keeps all of the ingredients in the mask evenly mixed, so they won’t break out. This makes the mask glide easily across your skin, helping you apply an even, comfortable layer every time.

· Body Washes

It has a gel-like consistency for a comforting, stable texture. It maintains foam quality, prevents watery separation and provides a rich cleanser sensation from beginning to end.

Industrial Processing Considerations

Sclerotium gum powder is easy to work with. First mix it with water before adding it to your final formulation. That prevents it from clumping, and you get silky smooth texture.

Furthermore, it is heat stable across a wide range of process temperatures and PH. That gives you some flexibility in when and how you add it. Both hot process and cold process permit the addition of this ingredient.

Because hydration takes time, there is a need for proper mixing. This ensures full swelling of the gum prior to adding any other ingredients. It also helps in achieving consistent results in every batch.

Safety and Regulatory Status

At Baisifu, we comply with all the approved safety standards in the cosmetic industry. Through our R&D, and in partnership with third party laboratories, we ensure our cosmetic products are safe.

Sclerotium gum powder is safe cosmetically and dermatologically. The majority of the global regulatory agencies permit it without imposing stringent usage level restrictions. Your approval procedure for your product is hence simplified and accelerated.

It is also gentle enough for use in products meant for sensitive skin requirements. This softness helps your formulas stay comfortable even on easily irritated skin. This reassurance enables you to provide good experience to your target clients.

Besides, its biodegradable nature permits green and eco-friendly branding. It gets approved by the regulatory authorities if you follow good manufacturing practice at all times. Thus, you reach both quality standards and compliance in every production batch.

Storage and Handling Guidelines

Proper storage maintains sclerotium gum powder in its optimal working condition. Storage in a dry, cool place maintains it in its original form. Storage in tightly sealed containers keeps it fresh and reduces clumping to the least amount.

Direct sunlight or too much humidity can destroy its smooth texture and effectiveness. Exposure for a short duration spoils its blending property and smooth texture. This preventive action safeguards your investment and ensures effective production output.

Furthermore, careful handling procedures yield consistent results in each batch. The use of dry equipment prevents it from clogging.
