Prunus Persica (Peach) Gum
Prunus Persica (Peach) Gum is a natural polysaccharide exudate from peach tree bark, used in personal care formulations as a film-forming thickener. It's chosen to stabilize textures, improve slip, and give a soft, hydrated feel on skin and hair.

Our take
Is Prunus Persica (Peach) Gum a Good Ingredient?
Fair, because its role is mostly cosmetic texture and slip rather than a proven skin benefit, and clinical evidence for lasting effects is thin. Botanical gums can also irritate or pill on skin, especially at higher use levels or in poorly balanced formulas.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Forms a light, breathable layer that leaves skin feeling supple and looking smoother, and can reduce the appearance of surface dryness.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Turns up in hydrating serums, gel moisturizers, sheet masks, and hair styling gels, where it adds glide and a soft-touch finish.
Before you use it
Safety
Safe for cosmetic use when purified and properly preserved; patch test if you're sensitive. Some users notice transient tightness or redness, and tolerance depends on concentration and how well the formula is put together.
