Fast-Dissolving Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum is a natural thickener produced by bacterial fermentation of plant-based raw materials using the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It is a high-quality polysaccharide with excellent water solubility , enabling the formation of clear, stable and viscous solutions without odour and with a minimal risk of skin irritation. Thanks to its rapid dispersion without pre-dissolving in glycerin, our cosmetic xanthan gum ranks among the most practical and most effective forms of xanthan gum for cosmetic formulations. Key benefits Fast-dissolving grade – forms a 0.5 % solution within 1 minute without the need for pre-mixing in glycerin. High clarity of solutions – transparency min. 85 %. Smooth texture and minimal dusting thanks to 14 mesh granulation. High viscosity and stability even in the presence of salts and ethanol up to 40 %. Vegan, COSMOS-compliant and a biodegradable raw material. Low irritation risk , non-toxic and non-allergenic. Suitable for products such as facial and body gels, serums, toners O/W emulsions (creams, milks, lotions) shampoos, shower gels and conditioners cleansing and disinfectant gels containing alcohol natural colour cosmetics Use in formulation Solubility: in water; insoluble in glycerin, glycols and oils Dosage: 0.3 % – 1 % depending on the desired viscosity Processing phase: added to the aqueous phase; mix intensively Max. processing temperature: up to 80 °C pH stability: wide pH range; suitable for most cosmetic products Ethanol tolerance: stable up to a concentration of 40 % Salt tolerance: no loss
