GuarSilk

A cationic derivative of a natural gum that is highly substantive to both hair and skin. GuarSilk is THE key ingredient in conditioning shampoos to leave hair soft, shiny and silky. GuarSilk is a trademark of The Herbarie. GuarSilk is quickly and easily dispersible in room temperature water and is compatible with anionic and amphoteric systems. In addition to its superior conditioning properties, GuarSilk has the benefit of increasing viscosity and stability in formulations. To give some idea of the amount needed: Two ounces GuarSilk will be enough for 50-60 8 ounce bottles of shampoo/body wash. Our 24 ounce of GuarSilk will be enough for 400+ 8 oz. bottles of shampoo/body wash.

Recommended Applications: GuarSilk is recommended for use in hair and skin care formulations to provide conditioning and to increase viscosity.
Shampoos: Although GuarSilk is cationic, it is compatible with most anionic surfactants used in hair care. GuarSilk can be used as a conditioning and softening agent and also as the primary viscosifer of a shampoo. A use level of 1.0-1.5% is recommended, based on the weight of the final formulation. For light conditioning, GuarSilk can be utilized from 0.15%-0.25%.
Lotions and Creams: GuarSilk is highly substantive and will enhance the conditioning and silky feel of emulsions. Typically 0.15%-0.25% is recommended.
