Description
INCI name:Amorphophallus Konjac extract
Konjac glucomannan is a powder extracted from konjac.
It is comprised of a high viscosity soluble fibre called glucomannan, which can expand to 100 times its volume in water making it an extremely effective humectant in cosmetic.
Konjac is rich in protein, lipids, fatty acids, plus vitamins A, B, C, D, & E, and natural minerals such as copper, zinc and magnesium. With this powerful combination of natural ingredients and gentle thickening ability, Konjac Powder also shines for use on the skincare arena as an exciting plant-based ingredient alternative to synthetic polymers, such as carbomer.
Konjac Extract is perfect for creating a variety of skin and hair care products that require gelling/texturizing effects similar to those provided by synthetic polymers.
It helps in the formulation of clear, stable gels that maintain a soft and pleasing feel, without any tackiness, while providing a clean, plant-based ingredient option.
