Glucomannan gel powder
Natural gel powder with high viscosity
© Eugene/AdobeStockGlucomannan Gel Powder is a highly pure, plant-based polysaccharide extracted from the tuber of Amorphophallus muelleri, which has been valued in Asia for centuries for its functional properties. The fine, water-soluble powder is obtained without synthetic additives and quickly forms a smooth, elastic gel when in contact with water. Thanks to its exceptional water-binding power, high viscosity, and pleasant sensory properties, glucomannan is ideal as a natural moisturizer, film former, and thickening agent in modern skin care formulations. It can be combined excellently with other hydrocolloids and impresses with its high stability in the pH range 2–7. Even small amounts have been proven to improve skin moisture and ensure smooth, stable textures in clean beauty concepts.
