Xanthan Gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent, perfect for adding texture and viscosity to your DIY skincare and cosmetic formulations. Derived from the fermentation of sugar by the Xanthomonas bacteria, xanthan gum is a plant-based, gluten-free ingredient that blends easily into liquids to create smooth, stable gels, lotions, and creams.
Ideal for use in a variety of products such as moisturizers, shampoos, serums, and facial cleansers, xanthan gum helps to evenly disperse ingredients and prevent separation, ensuring a consistent, silky texture. Its skin-friendly, non-comedogenic properties make it suitable for all skin types, providing a smooth application without clogging pores.
Key Benefits:
- Adds thickness and stability to emulsions
- Helps to create smooth, gel-like textures
- Non-toxic, biodegradable, and gentle on skin
- Compatible with a wide range of skincare and cosmetic products
How to Use:
Add 0.1-2% of xanthan gum to the water phase of your formulation. Mix thoroughly until fully dissolved and gel-like consistency is achieved.
