Natural Rheology
Modifier
Endosperm Of The Guar Bean
AURIST™ GHI is a flexible natural rheology modifier with unique sensory profiles suitable for all applications. Extracted from the endosperm of the guar bean grown in India and Pakistan, it is the ideal thickener for formulas with sustainability claims. Its synergistic interaction with xanthan gum form stronger associations thereby optimizing viscosity.
AURIST™ GHI is derived from the endosperm of a type of legume called the guar bean. Guar is a drought resistant crop. During drought stress, there is loss of water in the outer parts of the endosperm.
Due to the thick nature of the galactomannan cell walls, the embryo is embedded in a still relatively moist milieu for a certain time. This effect indicates that the mannans may also serve as a hygroscopic buffer1, which makes it a unique thickener used across many industries.
Low pH
Applicable for use in wide range of pH including low pH such as in skin care leave on formulas with acid i.e. serum with AHA.
Cationic Components
A neutral charged gum, it is suitable for use in formulation with cationic components i.e. formulation with cationic preservation system and hair conditioner.
Improves sensory profile
Shows low coefficient of friction compared to other gums and can be used for improved sensory when combined with xanthan gum in skin care leave on formulations.
Cold Process
It can be dissolved in cold water hence suitable for application such as translucent conditioner made by cold mixing process.

NATURE’S SELECT
The Guar Bean.
Drought Resistant Crop
AURIST™ GHI is derived from the endosperm of a type of legume called the guar bean.
During drought stress, there is a loss of water in the outerparts of the endosperm.
Nature’s Effect
Due to the thick nature of the galactomannan cell walls, the embryo is embedded in a relatively moist milieu for some time during this onset of drought stress.
This effect indicates that the mannans may also serve as a hygroscopic buffer, slowing down the otherwise too rapid and deadly desiccation of the embryo.
Thickening Agent
This feature contributes to the rheological properties of the guar gum and makes it a unique thickener that is used across many different industries including personal care.
Sourced
AURIST™ GHI is sourced from India and Pakistan through careful selection of raw materials and processing conditions.
