XANTHAN GUM
Also known as: Xanthan Gum
CAS Number: 11138-66-2
Key Benefits
Natural polysaccharide thickener and emulsion stabilizer
How It Works
High-molecular-weight exopolysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris fermentation. Exhibits pseudoplastic (shear-thinning) rheology — thick at rest, flows when applied. Forms synergistic hydrogen bonds with galactomannans for enhanced thickening.
Why BP Derma Uses It
Xanthan Gum gives our serums and gels their characteristic lush, gel-like texture that flows easily on application. Being naturally derived from fermentation, it aligns with our commitment to sustainable, biotechnology-forward ingredients.
