Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum
Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum, also called locust bean gum, is a high-molecular-weight galactomannan polysaccharide derived from the endosperm of carob seeds. In cosmetics it functions primarily as a thickener, stabilizer, suspending agent, and texture modifier, helping improve viscosity and product feel in water-based systems.
