Xanthan Gum doesn’t sound all that natural when you first hear it, but the truth is that without it, your product would not be the same. You spend a lot of money on your skin care products (not to mention time researching and educating yourself when it comes to what products you use), and we want you to have the best quality products possible.
Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide that has been fermented and then dried into a powder.
We use Xanthan Gum in our products as a binder, stabilizer, and a natural preservative, improving quality and product safety. Xanthan Gum is not an emulsifier, but it does keep oils from separating and thickens the consistency of products, while also allowing the product consistency to thin if necessary.
In addition to its practical properties, Xanthan Gum has been proven to moisturize skin — an added bonus!
Xanthan Gum is FDA approved, and we use Xanthan Gum that is certified kosher, organic, and vegan.
