INCI: Ceratonia Siliqua Gum. Locust bean gum, also known as carob gum, is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from the seeds of the carob tree. It is used principally as a thickener and stabiliser, for its water-binding capacity and its ability to form gels - particularly in combination with other hydrocolloids. Its key properties are high viscosity, clarity and the ability to create smooth textures, which make it valuable in food products such as ice cream, yoghurt, sauces and processed meats, as well as in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
