What is acacia gum?
This special ingredient is produced from different types of acacia that grow in the tropical area of West Africa. Acacia gum is produced spontaneously by the tree as its natural function is to protect the areas of the tree where the bark has broken, leaving it bare. For this reason, the most profitable trees are the older ones, i.e. those most subject to cracking and drying of the bark. In contact with air, acacia gum is harder and appears in the form of flakes. this is the moment in which it can be collected, processed and used in cosmetic products.
Acacia gum: this is how it reduces wrinkles
Acacia gum has various functions in cosmetics:
given its viscous consistency, this ingredient is often used in the formulation of eyeliner and mascara, but also creams and body lotions. In fact, acacia gum releases a thin rigid layer on the skin which allows it, in the case of creams, to create a tightening effect particularly suitable for combating wrinkles. This film-forming action allows acacia gum to also protect the skin by preventing dehydration. The water will in fact be retained inside the skin, thus being hydrated for longer .
Furthermore, the micropearls that make up acacia gum smooth the most superficial layer of skin, revealing a luminous and uniform complexion.
Finally, acacia gum gives firmness to all types of wrinkles thanks to the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and collagen. The action of acacia gum is therefore able to compensate for the physiological decline in the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, mainly responsible for the firmness of the skin, linked to advancing age.
The result is younger, brighter looking skin.
