When this bacteria is placed into a culture containing carbohydrates, the fermentation process begins, and xanthan gum is produced as a by-product. Once xanthan gum is formed, it's isolated, dried and processed into a fine powder. Carbohydrates used to make xanthan gum usually come from soy, wheat or corn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXanthan gum is cosmetic grade and is especially suited to cosmetic use as the thickening proves stable in such usage and is temperature resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe special formulation thickens with ease and blends well with other surfactants, emulsifiers, essential oils, fragrances, colourings and also helps suspend particles. The particle suspension ability, makes xanthan gum especially useful for exfoliant formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXanthan gum can be dispersed into water but a vortex must be created in the water first before it can be gently sprinkled in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe easiest and most effective option however is to blend xanthan gum into glycerin. This forms a paste that can then easily be mixed into your formulation. Xanthan gum should be added to cream based formulations to the water component and is resistant to heat, so can then be heated and combined with oil afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eXanthan gum will continue to thicken over the following days after manufacture. The final thickness of the xanthan gum based product will be heavily influenced by the amount of shear that the product has been subject to in manufacture. The greater the shear, the thinner the final consistency will be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecommended usage level: 0.1% - 0.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs always testing is advised so that you can find the correct ratio that works best in your product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eXantham Gum\u003c\/span\u003e can be used in the making or production of the following products:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShower Gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShampoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacial Wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisturising Creams and much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/4074\/6938\/t\/2\/assets\/description_image_JBL_XANTHAN_GUM_FFCS_PC___SDS.pdf?v=1652738480?v=1649675692\" data-sanitized-target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick here to download all documentation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craftovator","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":44254997512414,"sku":"XAN-1kg","price":10.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/5132\/3102\/products\/xanthan-gum-craftovator-1.jpg?v=1688388955","url":"https:\/\/klevu-trustpilot-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/xanthan-gum","provider":"Klevu Demo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
