Description
Gum Arabic is used as a binder in incense production, a stabilizer, emulsifier, adhesive and thickener in food, beverages and cosmetics,
An exudate of a number of Acacia species that are found in Africa and Arabia, Gum Arabic is used extensively in the food and confection industry to lend viscosity to beverages and stability to food products. It is used in icing and confection glazes to suspend essential oils and create oil/water emulsions.
Dissolved Gum Arabic is a standard base for watercolours to which pigments are added.
Gum Arabic creates the gumminess of Marshmallows, Gummy bears and other soft confections and forms natural gummy balls on the trees while it is fresh.
It is a favourite food of Baboons in Africa, and they are known to wait patiently while the tree produces a fresh flow of gummy yumminess for their pleasure.
Needless to say that it is also a favourite snack of children in the Savanna. Though we miss this delectable stage of the soft gum, it is an entirely water-soluble product and is easily powdered and reconstituted with water for its many everyday applications.
It is eminently edible, odourless, flavourless and transparent when dissolved in water, adding to its popularity and broad use.
Gum Arabic is a key ingredient in traditional lithography and is used in printing, paint production, glue, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and various industrial applications.
What will you create with it?

What an interesting resin. Melts in hot water, I added it to an hydrosol that i make and it makes the skin super velvety.

Quickest that I have ever received something from Etsy. I mixed with peppermint and spearmint essential oil to make a gum

Everything I ordered from Dan has been incredible compared to other sellers. When there was a mixup on shipping, not only did Dan personally fix it, he put a few generous extras in my shipment to make up for it. Will only order from Dan from now on.

This is a very nice resin. The lumps are mostly clear or translucent, some are brown-ish. The quality is astounding…I hope to see more of this in the future in the ApothecarysGarden shop. Hint: you will need to grind them (best with a mortar and pestle) before using them in your recipe.

I said this another review too, but the clarity of the resin/gum are like gems. I just kept staring and holding them up to the light. I intend to use this in hair and skin products, and see how it goes. Thank you for such a high-quality product!

This stuff blends in water (after being powdered) beautifully. Unfortunately it's not helpful to make inks (it's not alcohol soluble), but this is a nice staple to have if you like to make things. Any things.
