Cosmetic Grade Thickener & Stabiliser
Xanthan Gum is a naturally derived polysaccharide (complex sugar) commonly used in cosmetic and personal care products to improve texture, body and stability. It is valued for its ability to create smooth gels, increase viscosity and help keep ingredients evenly dispersed.
In beauty formulations, Xanthan Gum is especially useful where a thicker, more luxurious consistency is required. It hydrates in water and can be used in both hot and cold processing, making it suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications. It also performs well across a broad pH range, which makes it compatible with many skincare, haircare and cleansing formulations.
Xanthan Gum gives products a pleasant, smooth feel while helping to reduce separation in emulsions and water-based systems. It is commonly used in lotions, creams, serums, gels, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, facial cleansers and toothpaste-style formulations.
Xanthan Gum can be used to:
- Increase product thickness
- Create smooth gels.
- Help stabilize emulsions
- Improve the texture of creams, lotions and gels
- Support moisture retention in water-based formulations
- Reduce separation during storage
- Improve the overall sensory feel of finished products
