Xanthan Gum Clear is a modified form of traditional Xanthan Gum that has been specifically processed to provide a clearer, more transparent finish in cosmetic products. This variant is often used in gel-based formulations like serums, moisturizers, and cleansers, where a transparent texture is desired. It helps to stabilize the product, improve viscosity, and maintain the clarity of the formulation. Like regular Xanthan Gum, it retains its ability to hydrate and provide a smooth texture without leaving any residue.

How to Use
How to Use:
Concentration: Use 0.5%–2% Xanthan Gum Transparent for gel formulations, depending on the desired thickness.
Incorporation: Add the gum to the water phase and stir continuously. Allow the formulation to set for several hours to achieve full gel formation.1. Thickening Agent for Clear Formulations
Xanthan Gum Transparent is especially useful for thickening clear liquids, such as gels, serums, or facial toners, where traditional xanthan gum may cloud the product.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.1%–1% Xanthan Gum Transparent to achieve desired viscosity. Higher concentrations (up to 2%) can be used for thicker formulations.
- Incorporation: Slowly sprinkle Xanthan Gum Transparent into the water phase while stirring continuously to avoid clumping. Using a high-shear mixer will help ensure smooth dispersion.
2. Stabilizer for Emulsions
Xanthan Gum Transparent can be used to stabilize emulsions (oil-in-water or water-in-oil), helping prevent separation in clear emulsified products such as lotions, creams, or moisturizers.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Typically, 0.2%–1% is sufficient for emulsions.
- Incorporation: Add Xanthan Gum Transparent to the water phase before combining it with the oil phase. Stir well to ensure proper emulsification and prevent phase separation.
3. Suspension Agent for Clear Products
Xanthan Gum Transparent can suspend solid particles in clear liquids, which is ideal for products like exfoliating scrubs, shampoos, or body washes that contain visible active ingredients or particles.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.5%–1% Xanthan Gum Transparent for effective suspension.
- Incorporation: Gradually blend the gum into the water phase while stirring to ensure that the solid particles remain evenly distributed.
4. Gel Formation for Transparent Products
Xanthan Gum Transparent is ideal for creating gel-like textures in clear products such as hair gels, facial masks, or hand sanitizers.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.5%–2% Xanthan Gum Transparent for gel formulations, depending on the desired thickness.
- Incorporation: Add the gum to the water phase and stir continuously. Allow the formulation to set for several hours to achieve full gel formation.
5. Rheology Modifier
Xanthan Gum Transparent can be used to modify the flow properties of transparent or clear formulations, improving the spreadability and consistency of the product.
How to Use:
- Concentration: Use 0.1%–0.5% for mild rheology adjustments.
- Incorporation: Slowly add to the water phase and mix until fully dispersed to adjust the texture and flow properties.
