Xanthan Gum

Low risk

FunctionThickener

What it is — Xanthan Gum (INCI: Xanthan Gum) is a texture and structure agent.

What it does — It is commonly used as a natural fermentation-derived thickener.

Typical use — It is used in gels, creams, lotions and stylers to build viscosity, stabilize the formula or form a light film. By tuning viscosity and flow, it helps a product feel and dispense the way it is meant to.

Who it suits / good to know — Non-active and generally inert on skin. It shapes how a product feels and spreads rather than delivering a skincare effect. You are unlikely to notice it as an ingredient beyond how the product feels.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
