Cosphaderm® X 7 is a natural, non-GMO and vegan xanthan gum produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose using Xanthomonas campestris. The heteropolysaccharide meets both food and pharmaceutical standards and is widely used as an efficient thickening agent in cosmetic formulations.
It delivers a high viscosity yield while providing a pleasant skin feel without affecting taste or odour of the final product. Cosphaderm® X 7 effectively stabilises cosmetic O/W emulsions by preventing oil droplet coalescence. In addition, its aqueous solutions show excellent tolerance to salts, acids, heat and ethanol, ensuring robust formulation performance.
