INCI: Xanthan Gum

Function: Rheology modifier

The Science: Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide derived from the fermentation of simple sugars using the Xanthomonas campestris bacteria. It improves the texture of skincare formulas by acting as a natural thickener, helping to gel the water phase and provide a smooth, consistent feel.

The Story: Xanthan gum enhances the texture of formulas by naturally thickening and stabilizing them.
