Guar Gum

Guar gum is a naturally derived plant gum made from the seeds of the guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), a legume native to India and Pakistan that has been cultivated for centuries. Historically, guar was grown as both a food and agricultural crop, with its natural gum becoming widely valued as processing techniques advanced in the 20th century. Today, Silver Botanicals uses guar gum in its deodorant products where it functions as a plant-based thickener and stabilizer to create smooth, consistent formulations.
