Verdessence™ Xanthan (formerly Rheocare XGN) is a crystal-clear polymer that efficiently thickens and stabilizes emulsions and surfactant-based formulations, providing excellent viscosity that is boosted by electrolytes like NaCl. This vegan-compatible xanthan gum is produced from 100% renewable feedstocks, is cold-processable, preservative-free, and eligible for COSMOS approval. It is ideal for clear, high-viscosity formulations with pH values greater than 5.5, including fashionable shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, as well as modern tooth gels.
