Xanthan Gum – 100ml
Natural Thickener and Stabilizer for Cosmetics and Soap Making
Xanthan Gum is a versatile, natural polysaccharide produced by bacterial fermentation. It functions as an excellent thickening and stabilizing agent in cosmetic, skincare, and soap formulations. Thanks to its unique rheological properties, Xanthan Gum enhances texture, controls viscosity, and improves the stability of emulsions and suspensions.
Because it hydrates quickly and forms smooth, flexible gels, Xanthan Gum helps create products with a silky, pleasant feel without heaviness or stickiness. Additionally, it aids in suspending particles and botanicals, ensuring even distribution and long shelf life.
