Konjac gum is one of the most unique natural viscosity modifiers in hair and skin care with a much higher viscosity and superior skin feel compared to xanthan gum. It is an effective gum when you want to suspend particles in a formulation (exfoliants for instance)
It creates clear solutions and is applicable in all hair and skin care formulations. On its own, it doesn't create any hard gels but in combination with xanthan gum or our Solagum AX, it creates jelly-like structures.
