Crystal-clear transparency, a firm texture and agreeable skin feeling is achieved in face gels by the addition of a transparent thickener. In addition to purity and optimum rheology profile, customers also expect their products to fulfil ecological and ethical criteria.
Besides its rheological and water-binding benefits, Xanthan Gum is odorless, allergen- and GMO-free, vegan, and is approved as ingredient of natural origin according to ECOCERT COSMOS standards.
These features make Xanthan Gum the ideal natural alternative to synthetic thickeners.
