Description:
Xanthan Gum Non Transparent is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent made from fermented sugar using friendly bacteria. It appears as an off-white or cream powder and forms a smooth gel when mixed with water. This type is non-transparent, meaning it gives a cloudy appearance in products. It is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and other formulations to improve texture and stability.
Benefits and Uses:
- Works as a thickener to give creams, lotions, and gels the right texture.
- Helps keep oils and water mixed together so products do not separate.
- Improves the stability and shelf life of cosmetic and personal care products.
- Gives a smooth and rich feel to lotions, shampoos, and other products.
- Can be used in both hot and cold process formulations, making it very flexible.
- Commonly used in creams, face masks, body lotions, shampoos, conditioners, and toothpaste.
This ingredient is valued because it works in small amounts and is compatible with many other cosmetic ingredients. It helps maintain a consistent texture even when the product is stored for a long time. Non-transparent Xanthan Gum is often chosen for products where clarity is not important but stability and thickness are needed. It works well with other gums and thickeners for improved results. It is safe, skin-friendly, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Concentration and Solubility:
- Typical use level is 0.1% to 2% in most formulations.
- Mix easily in water with gentle mixing to avoid lumps.
How to Use:
- Add Xanthan Gum slowly to water phase while stirring to prevent clumps.
- Mix until fully hydrated before adding to the rest of the formulation.
