SCLEROTIUM GUM
Safety grade: A
Sclerotium gum is a natural thickening ingredient derived from a fungus, similar to how we get yeast from fungi. It helps create a smooth, creamy texture in skincare and cosmetic products.
This ingredient thickens the product, stabilizes emulsions (keeping oils and water mixed together), and conditions the skin by helping it retain moisture and feel soft.
