- Einführung
More recently, Hydrocolloids have found a fit in the personal care industry, where they often replace synthetic chemicals with similar properties. Driven by consumers? thirst for ?all-natural? products, many manufacturers are trying to leverage the long history of hydrocolloids in the food industry for personal care applications.

P&G launched the Pantene® Nature Fusion hair care collection. Key to the line?s marketing approach is that Nature Fusion products contain a chemically modified version of cassia gum, a hydrocolloid from the seeds of a legume native to India. Pantene scientists found that adding hydroxypropyltrimonium cations to the cassia polysaccharide enhanced its hair-conditioning properties.
