Xanthan Gum

Common name:

Just xanthan gum

Ingredient description:

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide of natural origin. It is responsible for the product's consistency. Due to its durability and resistance to low temperatures and acidic environments, it is widely used in the food and cosmetic industries. In addition, it is an extensively tested and completely safe substance.

Cosmetic action:

The role of xanthan gum in a cosmetic is to give it the right consistency. In addition to its consistency-forming effect, it is also an emulsifier. It stabilises the emulsion - it binds the water and fat phases of the cosmetic together, preventing them from delaminating. It increases the viscosity of the product, making it easier to apply to the skin.
