Ingredients Details
Xanthan Gum
Common Name(s): Corn sugar gum,xanthomonas campestris gum
CAS Number: 11138-66-2
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides pseudoplastic thickening and emulsion/suspension stabilization across broad ph and salt conditions.
Why It's Used: The most versatile cosmetic thickener โ pseudoplastic behavior (shear-thinning) provides ideal pump dispensing while maintaining in-use viscosity, stable across ph 2-12 and in high-salt formulations.
How It Works: Helix-coil conformational transitions provide pseudoplastic (shear-thinning) rheology. electrostatic repulsion between negatively charged chains provides thickening without cross-linking. stable across ph 2-12 and at nacl concentrations up to saturation.
Typically Found In: Virtually all aqueous cosmetic products requiring viscosity control
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ microbial polysaccharide thickener
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Xanthan gum's pseudoplastic behavior arises from helix alignment under shear (reducing viscosity) that recovers to random coil entanglement at rest (restoring viscosity). the 100-1000ร viscosity reduction during pumping vs at rest makes xanthan the ideal pump-dispensing thickener โ providing both easy dispensing and in-use viscosity that neither purely viscous nor elastic thickeners can achieve simultaneously.
