dehydroxanthan gum

Low risk

FunctionThickener

What it is — Dehydroxanthan Gum (INCI: Dehydroxanthan Gum) is a modified, natural-origin xanthan gum used as a thickener and film former.

What it does — It is commonly used to thicken formulas and to form a light film that improves slip and gives gels and creams a smooth feel.

Typical use — It appears in gels, serums, creams and masks, where it builds and structures texture.

Who it suits / good to know — Non-active and generally inert on skin; it shapes how a product feels rather than delivering a skincare effect.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert, non-irritating thickener and film-former. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - thickener/film-forming polymer, inert and non-irritating.
