Xanthan gum, a very fine brown powder, is the most used natural gelling agent to increase the viscosity of a product and is obtained from the fermentation of corn starch with the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium. It has the ability to "swell" in water and this allows you to obtain gels. It is active in various temperatures and pH and in cosmetics it is used in water-based products such as shower gel or face tonics. It is used in dosages between 0.5 and 1%.
