Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight carbohydrate polymer that is produced by the fermentation of glucose, sucrose, or lactose by the Xanthomonas campestris bacteria. It is a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier that is commonly used in food, personal care, and industrial products. It is a white to yellowish-white, free-flowing powder that is hygroscopic and dissolves easily in cold or hot water.

In personal care products, xanthan gum is used as a thickener and emulsifier in lotions, creams, and other cosmetics. It helps to improve the texture and stability of these products, making them easier to apply and preventing them from separating.

Xanthan gum is generally considered safe for consumption, and it is approved for use as a food additive by the FDA and other regulatory agencies around the world. However, some people may have a sensitivity to xanthan gum and may experience stomach discomfort or other side effects after consuming products that contain it.

Overall, xanthan gum is a versatile and widely used ingredient in many products due to its unique thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties. It is commonly used in food, personal care, and industrial products to improve texture, stability, and ease of use.
