    If there ever was a natural gum with more innovative potential for skin care formulations, it must be Sclerotium Gum. Sclerotium Gum is an aqueous gel-like polysaccharide of one of the most popular β-glucans, obtained from Sclerotium rolfsii fermentation on a glucose-based medium. The instant formation of gel base upon contact with water is a unique property that would definitely usher in exciting possibilities for applications in moisturizers and full sensory enhancement. Already, this brand-new ingredient has established an enviable reputation for forming a thin film over the skin, healing wounds, and smoothing skin, all of which are perfect for the natural retainment of skin moisture besides giving an inviting feel and texture to cosmetic formulations. Indeed, the skin care solutions are made smarter by Sclerotium Gum.

    Sclerotium Gum is a high-performance multifunctional gelling agent that enhances your cosmetic formulations. The primary element with superior stabilizing and rheological properties is sclerotium gum, which competes with xanthan gum and pullulan. Sclerotium Gum possesses much greater thermal and hydrolytic stabilities than traditional natural or synthetic gums and works perfectly even under different environmental conditions. Those unique characteristics induce thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties that would help enhance moisture retention of the skin. It will act as a luxury sensory experience, being a high stable and natural non-ionic polymer, completely non-tacky for any cosmetic formulation and thus most suitable for high-end skincare applications.

    Sclerotium Gum is a multifunctional thickener that is very suitable for many applications by exhibiting excellent properties. As a hydrator and sensorial builder, it improves the feel and performance of any formulation. Being a thickener and stabilizer, it preserves the consistency and quality of even cold-soluble and electrolyte-tolerant systems. A highly versatile thickener, Sclerotium Gum makes excellent fluid gels having great suspension, clarity, and processing flexibility. It is, thus, perfect for stabilizing insoluble solids and oil droplets, and is very efficient at low concentrations. Shear-reversible behavior opens the pathway for wider applications. Also, it is a good emulsifier and foam stabilizer under most extreme conditions. Sclerotium Gum will take your product formulation to the next-level.

    Sclerotium Gum is a natural, high-performance polysaccharide derived from the fermentation of Sclerotium rolfsii, a type of fungus. Known for its exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming properties, it is a versatile ingredient in skincare formulations. Its ability to enhance texture, provide hydration, and improve product stability makes it a valuable addition to modern skincare products.

    Key Functions of Sclerotium Gum

    Texture Enhancement: Sclerotium Gum acts as a natural thickener, providing a smooth, luxurious texture to skincare products.

    Moisture Retention: Sclerotium Gum forms a protective film on the skin’s surface, locking in moisture and preventing water loss.

    Stabilization: Sclerotium Gum improves the stability of emulsions and suspensions, ensuring a consistent product performance.

    Soothing & Calming: Sclerotium Gum helps soothe irritated or sensitive skin, reducing redness and discomfort.

    Non-Greasy Feel:Sclerotium Gum provides a lightweight, non-greasy finish, making it ideal for a wide range of skincare formulations.

    Sclerotium Gum Mechanism of Action:
    Sclerotium Gum works by forming a hydrogel network that binds water molecules, creating a protective barrier on the skin’s surface. This barrier helps to lock in moisture, enhance product texture, and stabilize formulations.

    Advantages of Sclerotium Gum 

    Natural & Sustainable: Derived from natural fermentation, it aligns with clean beauty and eco-friendly trends.

    Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of products, including creams, lotions, serums, and masks.

    Gentle & Safe: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and free from harmful additives.

    Proven Efficacy: Backed by scientific research, it delivers visible results in improving skin hydration and texture.

    Synergistic Effects: Works well with other active ingredients, enhancing their stability and effectiveness..
