Xanthan Gum is used to modify the texture of personal care products and to stabilize suspensions, thickening agent, oil-in-water emulsions and foams against separation. Creams and lotions made with Xanthan Gum will provide lubricity, uniform spreading, and a pleasant, light skin feel, even in the presence of salts or other ionic components.
Xanthan Gum is produced by a fermentation process using the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. The composition and structure of xanthan gum produced by commercial fermentation is identical to the naturally occurring polysaccharide formed by Xanthomonas campestris on plants belonging to the cabbage family. Process control and rigorous quality standards throughout production guarantee consistent, reliable product performance. Xanthan Gum is suitable for use in a wide variety of cosmetic and personal care formulations.
