What is Transparent Grade Xanthan Gum?
Xanthan Gum (Transparent Grade) is a high-quality, plant-derived polysaccharide used as a thickener, stabilizer, suspending agent, and emulsifier in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and personal care products. This special transparent grade forms a clear or nearly clear gel when dissolved in water — making it ideal for formulations where clarity and visual appeal are critical.
It delivers excellent rheological properties, long-term shelf stability, and is compatible with a wide pH range. Due to its eco-friendly, non-toxic, and vegan profile, it’s widely used in clean-label and natural product lines.
