DESCRIPTION

Natural thickener · Translucent

A polysaccharide produced by fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. An efficient natural thickener at small doses. It produces translucent, high-viscosity gels. Pseudoplastic: fluid under stirring, thick at rest.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 0.1% - 1%
How to use and incorporate: Premix with glycerin, propylene glycol or butylene glycol (1 part gum to 3–5 parts polyol) and disperse in the water while stirring; let hydrate 20–30 minutes until a gel forms.
Formulation tips:
  • Carbomers lose viscosity with electrolytes and at acidic pH; add salts, extracts and acidic actives carefully.
  • To suspend particles (exfoliants, beads), a thickener with yield value is required, such as carbomer or xanthan gum.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Check compatibility with surfactants and salts.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid lumps — disperse with stirring.
Precautions: Avoid inhaling the powder. Powder spills with water are very slippery.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
