Where It’s From
Xanthomonas campestris
Xanthan Gum is a natural thickening agent derived from fermented sugars, renowned for its ability to enhance texture and stability in skincare and cosmetic formulations. Its unique properties allow products to glide smoothly across the skin, providing a luxurious feel while helping to prevent ingredients from separating. Beyond its aesthetic benefits, Xanthan Gum also helps to retain moisture, promoting hydration for a healthier-looking complexion.
In addition to its soothing and moisturizing capabilities, Xanthan Gum is generally recognized as safe for most skin types, making it an excellent choice for gentle formulations. While it is suitable for sensitive skin, it's always wise to conduct a patch test when trying new products. With its versatile applications, Xanthan Gum stands out as a key ingredient in both everyday and high-performance beauty products.
