Food grade xanthan gum (INCI: Xanthan Gum)

Product Description

Xanthan is also known by the more familiar name corn sugar gum. It contains high molecular weight natural carbohydrates (or more specifically polysaccharides) produced through a fermentation process. It is an ingredient listed in the British Pharmacopoeia. It is also used in the food industry, however ours is declared for cosmetic use only. It adds its unique smoothness to creams and lotions, stabilises formulations and thus prevents the ingredients from separating.

Xanthan gum mixes with cold or hot water.

Recommended usage:

0.2 – 0.5% for emulsions and creams (based on the final weight of the product).
0.6 – 1% for making gels.
Xanthan gum mixes with cold and warm water, but reaches viscosity faster in warm water.

It is best to mix xanthan gum into water and leave it for a few hours to swell. Then blend it with a stick blender until smooth.

You can use xanthan gum to thicken your liquid soaps, shampoos, and detergents.
