Biosaccharide Gum-16 is a cosmetic ingredient designation associated with a bio-based gum used in personal-care formulations. Publicly available formulation literature identifies Bio-Sugar Gum-16 as an ingredient used in moisturizing cosmetic compositions. However, unlike established INCI names such as Biosaccharide Gum-1 through Biosaccharide Gum-6, the exact INCI identity, chemical composition and CAS number of Biosaccharide Gum-16 could not be reliably verified from authoritative cosmetic ingredient records.
For accurate cosmetic raw-material documentation, Biosaccharide Gum-16 should therefore be identified according to the manufacturer's technical documentation, including the exact INCI name, CAS number, composition and specification.
Biosaccharide Gum-16 is a bio-based gum designation encountered in cosmetic formulation literature. It has been used in moisturizing topical compositions alongside ingredients such as butanediol, carbomer, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol and botanical ingredients.
Because the available public information does not establish a standardized INCI identity for Biosaccharide Gum-16, it should not automatically be treated as equivalent to Biosaccharide Gum-1, Biosaccharide Gum-4, Biosaccharide Gum-5 or Biosaccharide Gum-7.
Bio-Sugar Gum-16 has been described in cosmetic formulation literature in the context of moisturizing compositions. Its use alongside humectants and other skin-care ingredients indicates its potential application in skin-conditioning and moisturizing product systems.
The exact cosmetic function should be confirmed from the supplier's technical documentation before making a definitive ingredient-function claim.
Biosaccharide Gum-16 has been reported as a component of moisturizing cosmetic compositions. A published formulation example contains Bio-Sugar Gum-16 together with butanediol, grape seed oil, carbomer, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol and botanical ingredients.
This supports its use as part of a broader moisturizing cosmetic formulation, but does not by itself establish a universal recommended concentration or a specific mechanism of action.
Biosaccharide Gum-16 can be evaluated in creams, lotions and other leave-on formulations where a bio-based gum is required. The appropriate concentration and processing conditions should be established using the exact commercial grade.
The ingredient can be considered for facial-care formulations such as moisturizers, creams, gels and other leave-on products. Formulators should evaluate compatibility with humectants, polymers, electrolytes, preservatives and active cosmetic ingredients.
A skin-conditioning function should not be assigned to Biosaccharide Gum-16 solely from the name. Publicly available evidence confirms its inclusion in moisturizing cosmetic formulations, but a standardized official cosmetic function could not be verified.
For an SDP product page, the safest approach is to describe it as a bio-based cosmetic gum used in moisturizing and personal-care formulations, unless the supplier TDS confirms a specific INCI function.
Formulators should evaluate:
Because Biosaccharide Gum-16 is not sufficiently characterized in authoritative public sources, the commercial supplier's TDS and COA should be treated as the primary source for numerical specifications.
Biosaccharide Gum-16 may be evaluated for:
Biosaccharide Gum-16 is a bio-based gum designation reported in cosmetic formulation literature. It has been used in moisturizing cosmetic compositions.
A standardized official INCI identity for Biosaccharide Gum-16 could not be reliably verified. The exact INCI name should be taken from the supplier's current technical documentation.
No reliable CAS number could be verified. An unverified CAS number should not be published on the SDP product page.
No. They should not be treated as the same ingredient. Bio-Sugar Gum-16 is separately identified in formulation literature.
I could not verify this. The current EU cosmetic glossary lists Biosaccharide Gum-1 through Biosaccharide Gum-6, but does not list Biosaccharide Gum-16.
Publicly available formulation literature reports its use in moisturizing cosmetic compositions.
It can be evaluated in skin-care formulations, but the exact application and function should be based on the supplier's verified technical and regulatory documentation.
