Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum is a naturally derived polysaccharide produced through the controlled fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. The resulting structure is identical to the polysaccharide formed naturally on plants in the cabbage family, ensuring reliable and consistent performance in personal care applications.

Widely used as a rheology modifier, Xanthan Gum enhances viscosity, stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions, and helps prevent phase separation in suspensions and foams. It delivers smooth flow behavior and excellent stability, even in formulations containing salts or other ionic components.

Creams, lotions, and cleansers formulated with Xanthan Gum benefit from uniform spreading, added lubricity, and a light, pleasant skin feel, making it a versatile choice across a broad range of cosmetic products.
