Overview

Description

Xanthan gum is a proven gel former and stabiliser for hot and cold-stirred emulsions. With other emulsifiers it is a skin-friendly thickener for shampoos and shower gels. It is indispensable when it comes to creating stable surfactant emulsions with a high water content. Xanthan gum is very soluble in both cold and warm water. For ease of use, it is recommended to first dissolve xanthan gum in glycerine or alcohol and then add it to the formulations. In this way, the gelling agent can be processed without lumps.
