Description

Xanthan Gum from My Cosmetik is a gelling agent and a thickener for aqueous phases. It allows you to modify the viscosity and the texture of the aqueous phases of your homemade cosmetics (gels, shampoos, milks, creams, etc.). Of natural origin, it is often used to design transparent aqueous gels (approved by Ecocert). At less than 0.5%, it also significantly increases the stability of your emulsions.

Properties and benefits of Xanthan gum

Xanthan gum is an active ingredient mainly recognized for gelling or texturing all preparations containing an aqueous phase. It also has other advantages: at low concentration (less than 0.5%), it stabilizes the emulsions while providing a silky texture. At higher concentrations, it has a strong thickening power and will allow you to achieve textures with high viscosities. Also note, xanthan gum makes it possible to create perfectly transparent gels, and remains very stable over time.

Xanthan gum is insensitive to temperature and tolerates freezing and thawing very well.

How to apply Xanthan gum?

It is recommended to use in the preparation of emulsions, gels, lotions, shampoos, shower gels, tightening eye gels, refreshing and circulatory gels.

To be dispersed in the aqueous phase of your recipe at the start of preparation. It is not necessary to heat.

-Soothing body gel: In a bowl, pour 75 ml of rose hydrosol and add 10 drops of isocide. Sprinkle 0.9 g of xanthan gum in a fine rain on the mixture, mix vigorously for 1 minute (it is normal for lumps to form, they will disappear once the hydration of the gum is complete). Then mix every 15 to 20 minutes until all the lumps are gone. Then add 10 ml of oily calendula macerate and 4 drops of vitamin E. Mix until the oil emulsifies perfectly into the gel. Transfer to a 100 ml vial. Apply on your body (on cleansed and dried skin).

Precautions

To prevent lumps from forming in your gels, disperse the xanthan gum as a fine rain in your aqueous phase while stirring, then let sit so that the gum hydrates. The entire process can take up to 45 minutes (stir occasionally). This rehydration is faster when hot but can easily be done when cold.

Be careful, xanthan gum is incompatible with grapefruit seed extract (preservative of the aqueous phases), if you want to use an aqueous phase preservative, you must then use Isocide.

Do not ingest / Do not inhale

Storage conditions
