INGREDIENT OVERVIEW

Xanthan Gum Powder

Xanthan Gum is a high-performance polysaccharide thickener used in cosmetic formulations to build viscosity, improve stability, and suspend insoluble materials.

It is widely used across gels, serums, cleansers, lotions, and emulsions where consistent texture and reliable structure are required.

Our Xanthan Gum is supplied as a cosmetic-grade white powder with verified viscosity of 520 mPa·s in a 1% aqueous solution, selected for stable hydration behaviour, low moisture content, and dependable formulation performance.

When properly dispersed, it forms smooth, stable water-based systems and can assist in improving emulsion stability.
