About Xanthan Gum
Xanthan Gum Powder is a natural, high-functionality polysaccharide obtained through the fermentation of carbohydrates by Xanthomonas campestris. It is commonly used in cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial products for its thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, and flow-modifying properties.
This versatile ingredient offers strong viscosity even at low levels, excellent suspension stability, and consistent performance under a broad range of pH and temperature conditions. It creates smooth, uniform textures while enhancing the stability of formulations, making it ideal for applications such as creams, gels, lotions, shampoos, and cleansers.
