Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide produced by fermentation of Xanthomonas bacteria5. In cosmetics, it thickens, gels and stabilizes emulsions16. It is a texture ingredient: no study we kept attributes a skincare effect to it. The CIR panel and EFSA judge it safe, each within its own scope34.
Entry from our cosmetic ingredient glossary. Regulatory data from the European Commission's CosIng database1 and Regulation (EC) 1223/20092, safety according to the CIR expert panel3. Copy the identifiers in one click for your files.
Each result shows the protocol and the level of evidence. The higher the level, the better the result carries over to a finished formula.
Compared with two alginates, xanthan gum serves as the bio-sourced reference polymer: the residual films of the emulsions are similar, but each polymer leaves its own texture signature on application. The study is linked to an alginate producer7.
Combinations of a type C carbomer with xanthan gum, or with a copolymer carbomer, are the most promising for products that stick to the skin. The two selected hydrogels release about 80% of the model caffeine in 5 hours8.
Xanthan gum is traditionally used as a thickener of liquid formulas and an emulsion stabilizer. Its structure changes with temperature and pH9.
The panel concludes that these gums, xanthan gum included, are safe in the present practices of use and concentrations3.
Xanthan gum is probably not absorbed intact and is fermented by gut flora. No adverse effect at the highest doses tested, no genotoxicity. Adults tolerated up to 214 mg per kg per day for 10 days, with occasional abdominal discomfort. This result concerns ingestion, not the skin4.
This page summarizes published literature on a cosmetic ingredient. It does not describe the effect of a finished product, which depends on its formula, and it is not medical advice. Some of the studies cited were run or funded by manufacturers; this is shown in the sources. Xanthan gum is a texture ingredient: no cosmetic clinical trial we kept isolates a skincare effect, and this page suggests none. The studies cited cover manufacturing, texture and safety.
No formula in our white label catalog features xanthan gum yet. Our formulation lab can add it to a custom formula or to a catalog formula. Its common uses:
Thickener and stabilizer of gels, serums, creams and lotions; helps keep particles in suspension.
Texture and stability of body lotions, shower gels and scrubs.
Texture of shampoos, styling gels and conditioners.
Four polymers that thicken or gel aqueous formulas. The figures below come from two texture studies; they do not point to an absolute best choice.
| Xanthan gum | Alginates | Carbomer | Kappa carrageenan | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Bacterial fermentation5 | Brown algae | Synthetic polymer | Red algae |
| What the studies show | Classic reference texture in 1% emulsions7 | Its own texture signature; the gelled version is more viscoelastic7 | Higher complex viscosity than kappa carrageenan in hydrogels8 | Lower viscosity than the type C carbomer in the same study8 |
| Role in the hydrogels tested | Secondary polymer, combined with the carbomer8 | Not tested in this study | Main polymer8 | Main polymer8 |
