DESCRIPTION
XANTHAN GUM

A gum normally produced by fermentation of a carbohydrate in a pure culture of Xanthomonas campestris and subsequent purification; it is the sodium, potassium or calcium salt of a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide containing D-glucose, D-mannose, D-glucuronic acid and pyruvic acid.

Properties and uses: It is anionic in nature, stable between pH 4 and 11. Forms whitish, translucent, non-transparent gels of medium consistency, thicker or thinner depending on the gum concentration. Gelling is instant and the gel's appearance improves after 24 hours. Its gels are very refreshing and non-sticky, tolerate electrolytes fairly well and accept up to 30 % alcohol. Xanthan gum is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a suspending, stabilizing, thickening and emulsifying agent, and for sustained-release tablet matrices. It is also used in the food industry.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: At 0.1–1 %.
How to use and incorporate: Modus operandi: Wet the gum with alcohol or glycerin, then add the purified water with the preservative while stirring gently.
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: Incompatibilities: Surfactants, polymers, preservatives, polyvalent metal ions (e.g. ej. calcium), borates, oxidizing agents, some tablet coatings, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, dried aluminum hydroxide gel, amitriptyline, tamoxifen and verapamil.
Storage: In tightly closed containers. PROTECT FROM LIGHT AND MOISTURE.

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.
