Product Overview
Natural Plant Gum for Hydration, Stability, and Skin Comfort
Prunus Persica Gum is a polysaccharide-rich natural resin, primarily composed of galactose, rhamnose, arabinose, and glucuronic acid. Its chemical properties are similar to Acacia Senegal Gum, providing excellent water-binding, thickening, and film-forming abilities.
In cosmetic formulations, Peach Gum serves as:
Natural thickener – improves viscosity and texture of serums, gels, and creams
Emulsion stabilizer – maintains uniformity of oil-water systems and prevents phase separation
Moisturizing agent – forms a breathable water-retention film on skin, providing long-lasting hydration
Skin-conditioning agent – soothing, anti-inflammatory, and protective for sensitive or acne-prone skin
Its natural, safe, and low-irritation profile makes it suitable for high-end skincare products targeting hydration, barrier support, anti-aging, and sensitive skin.
