About
Natural peach tree gum that forms a gentle, protective barrier on the skin.
Prunus persica gum is a plant exudate composed primarily of polysaccharides (arabinose, galactose, rhamnose) with minor protein content. It functions as a thickening, suspending, and film-forming agent in cosmetics. The ingredient is listed in EU CosIng with no restrictions under Regulation 1223/2009. As a high-molecular-weight polymer, it does not penetrate skin and presents no sensitization or toxicity concerns. CAS 84012-34-0 is shared with other Prunus-derived materials.
