Xanthan Gum is a naturally derived, water-soluble polysaccharide widely used in cosmetic and personal-care formulations as a thickener, stabilizer, rheology modifier and suspending agent. It helps improve viscosity, texture and formulation stability while providing smooth and consistent product flow.
Xanthan Gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced through microbial fermentation and is widely used as a functional rheology modifier in cosmetic formulations. It hydrates in water and develops viscosity, making it useful for controlling the consistency and flow properties of creams, gels, lotions and cleansing products.
It also provides suspending and stabilizing properties, helping keep particles, pigments and other ingredients uniformly dispersed within a formulation. Xanthan Gum can be used alone or in combination with other natural and synthetic thickeners to achieve the desired texture and stability.
Its versatility and compatibility with a wide range of formulation systems make it suitable for skin care, hair care, cleansing products and other personal-care applications.
