What is Sclerotium Gum?
Sclerotium Gum is a natural polysaccharide gum obtained through the fermentation of Sclerotium rolfsii. It is renowned for its excellent thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming properties. Its unique shear-thinning behavior ensures a smooth application experience while providing long-lasting hydration. This makes it an ideal ingredient for silicone-free shampoos, moisturizers for sensitive skin, and makeup setting sprays.

Key Technical Parameters:

Sclerotium Gum, also known as Scleroglucan (Sclg), is a non-ionic homopolysaccharide secreted by fungi of the genus Sclerotium, has a backbone build up by β-1,3-D-glucopyranosyl units with single β-1,6-D-glucopyranosyl side chains linked to every third residue in the main chain. In aqueous solution, it exhibits a linear, rigid, triple helical structure.

Sclerotium Gum is a water soluble, nature-derived polysaccharide produced by fermentation of the filamentous fungus Sclerotium rolfsii. It is a highly versatile ingredient, which improves the sensory characteristic of personal care products. Scleroglucan has rheological properties, and unlike most natural and synthetic gums, has high thermal stability, is resistant to hydrolysis and retains skin moisture.
