Xanthan Gum, Cosmetic Grade
Workhorse suspending agent for gels and emulsions.
Cosmetic & Personal Care
Starches & Thickeners
Rheology modifiers, gums, gelling agents and texture powders.
Overview
Texture is what the consumer feels before any active has done anything. Rheology selection controls not just viscosity but yield point, suspension of pigments and the exact way a cream breaks on the skin, and it also determines whether the formula survives electrolyte load or a low pH.
Where it is used
- Creams, lotions and gel emulsions
- Shampoos, conditioners and body washes
- Masks, jellies and treatment textures
- Colour cosmetics and pigment suspension
