Product Details
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Effective Thickening Agent: Xanthan Gum rapidly increases viscosity in water-based formulations, helping to create rich, stable textures in creams, lotions, gels, and serums.
Superior Stabilization: It helps maintain uniform dispersion of ingredients such as pigments, powders, and botanical extracts, preventing separation and improving product consistency.
Wide Compatibility: Xanthan Gum works well with most commonly used thickeners and stabilizers and shows synergistic effects when combined with gums like guar, locust bean, and tara gum.
Versatile Performance: Stable across a wide pH and temperature range, Xanthan Gum performs effectively in high-salt systems and aqueous ethanol solutions (up to 50%) without precipitation.
Enhanced Sensory Experience: It improves spreadability and application, giving formulations a smooth, pleasant feel on both skin and hair.
DESCRIPTION
Xanthan Gum is a naturally derived, high–molecular weight polysaccharide produced through fermentation. Known for its exceptional thickening and stabilizing properties, it dissolves easily in both hot and cold water to form highly viscous, pseudoplastic solutions.
Widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations, Xanthan Gum helps create smooth, uniform textures while ensuring even distribution of active ingredients. Its ability to maintain stability across varying pH levels and temperatures makes it a reliable choice for a broad range of formulations.
In skin care, it enhances texture and improves the application of creams, lotions, and serums. In cosmetic products, it stabilizes pigments and powders, ensuring consistent performance. In hair care, it contributes to improved consistency, spreadability, and overall product feel.
DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE
-
Skin Care Formulations: Use 0.1–2% in creams, lotions, and serums to provide thickening and stabilization. Add to the water phase and mix thoroughly to avoid clumping
-
Cosmetic Products: Incorporate 0.1–2% in gels, mascaras, and foundations to improve viscosity and maintain even dispersion of pigments and active ingredients.
- Hair Care Products: Use 0.1–2% in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products to enhance consistency and ensure uniform distribution of conditioning agents and extracts.
-
General Formulation Guidance: Xanthan Gum is water-soluble and should be dispersed properly in the aqueous phase. Hydration may be improved by pre-mixing with glycerin or another dispersing agent before adding to water.
