Clear Xanthan Gum Powder（4 oz） High Viscosity Cosmetic Grade– Plant-Derived Nonionic Thickener & Rheology Modifier for Lotions, Serums, Shampoos & Cleansers

Clear Xanthan Gum (INCI: Xanthan Gum, CAS: 11138-66-2) is a nonionic, high molecular weight polysaccharide. It appears as a white to off-white free-flowing powder, soluble in both cold and hot water, and practically insoluble in organic solvents. This cosmetic grade is formulated without hydration retardants, enabling faster thickening and yielding the clearest gels

• Plant-Derived, Nonionic Water-Soluble Polymer： Clear Xanthan Gum (INCI: Xanthan Gum) appears as a white to off-white free-flowing powder and is soluble in both hot and cold water, yielding highly viscous solutions. It aligns with plant-based formulation goals.
• Produces Crystal Clear Gels with Shear-Thinning Behavior： This cosmetic grade is formulated without hydration retardants, enabling faster thickening and producing the clearest gels. Xanthan gum solutions exhibit shear-thinning (pseudoplastic) behavior — viscosity decreases when stress is applied and recovers when at rest, ensuring products feel smooth to apply yet remain thick and luxurious when at rest
• Low Usage, High Viscosity -High Transparency– Highly Efficient Thickener： Xanthan gum produces a significant increase in liquid viscosity with the addition of a very small amount of powder. Typically, as little as 0.1% – 0.5% can sufficiently increase viscosity in many formulations, while 0.2% – 1.5% is recommended for thickening water-based products
• Broad Compatibility & Excellent Stability Across pH and Temperature： Clear Xanthan Gum maintains consistent viscosity over a wide pH range (2–12) and remains stable across varying temperatures, salt concentrations, and electrolytes. It is compatible with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants, and displays excellent synergies with other gums such as guar gum
• Versatile for Skincare, Haircare & Body Care： Ideal for lotions, creams, serums, liquid shampoos, gel cleansers, shower gels, body washes, toothpaste, and facial masks. For best results, slowly sprinkle into cool water while stirring continuously or pre-disperse in glycerin (2-5%) to prevent clumping
