Xanthan Gum, Clear

CAS: 11138-66-2 Xanthan Gum is a natural gum polysaccharide created through fermentation of sugar (glucose or sucrose) by Xanthomonas campestris bacteria. Xanthan Gum is used in cosmetics as a thickener or rheology modifier and emulsion stabilizer. Our Xanthan Gum Clear is a higher purity, cosmetic grade made without hydration retardants for quicker thickening. It produces the clearest gels.  Our Xanthan Gum Clear in solution will have greater viscosity and clarity than our Xanthan Gum Soft, but with more stringing effect. Xanthan gum produces a large increase in the viscosity of a liquid with the addition of a very small amount of gum. Generally 1%, but as little as 0.1% can be used in many applications. Xanthan Gum is an excellent natural source thickener for lotions, creams, liquid soap, shower gels, body washes and shampoos.

To incorporate without agglomeration, create a vortex in the water with your mixer (paddle, stick blender, etc.) and sprinkle the xanthan gum into the vortex. Alternately, the xanthan gum can be pre-dispersed in glycerin or propylene glycol and then immediately added to the water phase with mixing. Once the xanthan gum is fully hydrated, the resulting solution can be heated if necessary for the inclusion of other ingredients.  Typical Use Rate: 0.1 - 2% Appearance: Off-white granular powder Solubility: Soluble in water, insoluble in oil Brand: Keltrol CG T Try out these formulations using this ingredient:  Antiaging Facial Moisturizer for Mature Skin Rose Clay & Marula Oil Facial Cleanser Sea Kelp & Clay Face Mask Body Butter Bliss Skin Soothing Toner Moisturizing Lotion with Simulgreen 18-2
