Short Description:

Xanthan Gum is an essential element in skin care products and has the function of moisturizing and hydrating. Especially in some dry seasons, the use of skin care products with xanthan gum can make the skin tightly lock in moisture, and create a protective natural barrier on the skin surface, which is not vulnerable to environmental pollution and impact of the external natural environment. Because its ingredients can stimulate the production of collagen powder in the skin, Xanthan Gum also has the effect of anti-oxidation and anti-aging.

Application

Xanthan Gum can keep the separation of lotion products. Xanthan Gum is used as a setting agent, humectant, and suspending agent in cosmetics, and has the functions of thickening, adhesion, and lubrication.

Xanthan Gum is completely dissolved in most water-based systems, but due to its strong hydrophilicity, if it is directly added to water and not stirred sufficiently, the outer layer will absorb water and expand into micelles, thus preventing water from entering the inner layer, thus affecting the function, so attention must be paid to correct use.

Xanthan Gum, known as “industrial monosodium glutamate”, is the most widely used microbial polysaccharide with the largest production scale in the world. Purpose: stabilizer; Thickening agent; Emulsifier; Suspension agent; Foam enhancer. So far, Xanthan Gum is considered to be the most excellent biological gum in the world, and is widely used in food, juice, beverage, feed, cosmetics, medicine, ceramics, fire protection, oil and other industries. Its market growth potential exceeds all hydrophilic adhesives.

The concentration of Xanthan Gum in cosmetics will not exceed 2%. The normal xanthan concentration ranges from 0.2% to 2%, so the safety performance is relatively high. Xanthan solution has the characteristics of low concentration and high viscosity (the viscosity of 1% aqueous solution is 100 times that of gelatin). It can also be dissolved in cold water, even if the water solution with low concentration still shows stable high viscosity in a wide temperature range.
