Xanthan Gums are essential for various cosmetic products. In our video, we show how to achieve a vegan product, a crystal-clear liquid, a great skin feel and perfect solubility.
All the highlights of our Cosphaderm® Xanthan Gums here in the video:
The special features of our Cosphaderm Xanthan Gums
Our xanthan gum is a plant-based, vegan polysaccharide with highly transparent properties that is produced by biofermentation. The advantage of xanthan gum is its decreasing viscosity with increasing shear forces. This effect is important for applications such as foams or emulsions. It enables a cream to be spread easily and evenly on the skin.
Unique to our Cosphaderm® Xanthan Gums is that the pH value has no influence on the viscosity. Even at extremely low or high pH values, such as pH 1.0 or pH 13.0, they always show the same viscosity and yield, depending on the shear forces. This makes them flexible in all applications and under all conditions.
Our products are very salt-tolerant, which plays a decisive role when using anionic and cationic surfactants. With an initial increase in concentration up to about 0.85 % NaCl in the solution, the viscosity is even increased. Only with a further increase in concentration does the viscosity decrease very slowly; up to very high salt concentrations of around 9-10 % NaCl.
Due to their high pH tolerance and high tolerance in the presence of salts and alcohols, they provide 8 times higher emulsion stability and less phase separation in water-oil emulsions.
Certifications and appearance
Cosphaderm® Xanthan Gums easily fulfil all certification requirements and, like all our core products, are COSMOS-approved.
We offer our products in sand grain form or as a fine powder. It does not clump together, produces a clear solution, has a very high water solubility and dissolves very quickly in a highly viscous structure. Other products on the market clump together easily, take much longer to gel and become cloudy.
We carry out regular tests to ensure immediate solubility in transparent viscous liquids. This makes them absolutely perfect for processing in all cosmetic products and ideal for achieving that silky, smooth, gel-like consistency - without being sticky. Apart from the excellent sensory properties of our Cosphaderm® Xanthan Gums, In addition to the benefits of our xanthan gums, such as reduced stickiness and the creation of a silky skin feel, our xanthan gums also outperform standard products in terms of dissolution speed, transparency and stability.
