Product description


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 of viscosity in the presence of Na⁺, K⁺, Li⁺; maximum viscosity at approx. 7 % NaCl

Fast-dissolving xanthan gum is a universal natural thickener with high clarity, stability and easy processing, ideal for modern cosmetic formulations focusing on efficiency and natural composition.


Raw material safety rating according to EWG

According to the official EWG database, this raw material has the rating: 1 – 2 (low risk).


FAQ

Does xanthan gum need to be mixed in glycerin first?

No, this fast-dissolving grade dissolves directly in water without the need for pre-dissolving. Within one minute it forms a homogeneous, clear gel.

Is it also suitable for products containing alcohol?

Yes, xanthan gum is stable up to 40 % ethanol, so it is very well suited for disinfectant or cleansing gels.

What effect does it have on gel clarity?

It creates highly transparent solutions with light transmittance above 85 %, making it ideal for clear products such as serums, gels and toners.

How to prevent clumping when mixing xanthan gum?

Add the powder into the aqueous phase while mixing. This fast-dissolving quality dissolves very quickly even without prior hydration in glycerin.

What is the recommended dosage for different viscosities?

As a guideline: 0.3 % for light thickening, 0.5 % for medium to higher viscosity, and 1.0 % for high-viscosity formulations. Adjust the actual dosage to the specific formulation and the desired sensory feel.

How does the fast-dissolving grade differ from standard xanthan gum?

It is granulated for easy dosing with minimal dusting, dissolves very quickly without pre-mixing, provides a higher viscosity yield and forms clear solutions with high light transmittance.
