Expo 8-12-2024Pectins
Our pectin is a purified, nature-derived carbohydrate obtained by aqueous extraction from apple pomace or citrus peel. We use these raw materials as they produce pectin of a superior quality and contain a relatively large amount of pectin. Pectin adds significant value to personal care products due to its natural and healthy image.
Pectin has only been produced industrially since the early 20th century, but has long been used for gelling jams. Pectin is now used in personal care products for its gelling, thickening and stabilizing properties.
Cargill can supply grades of pectin that meet the specifications of USP/NF when tested accordingly.

UNIPECTINE™ pectin
Applications
In the cosmetics industry, pectin is used as a structure provider in pastes, ointments, oils and creams. It is also used as a thickener and stabilizer in hair tonics, body lotions, shampoos and conditioners.
This is pure pectin, no additives. in most cases it must be activated by some source of calcium. I personally use calcium carbonate. it does not take much.
