Technical Advantages: Beyond Thickening

  1. Sensory Enhancement

    • Silky Texture: Imparts a non-tacky, smooth feel in lotions (0.2% addition reduces drag by 30%).

    • Shear-Thinning Rheology: Thins under application shear for easy spreading, then rethickens to lock in moisture.

  2. Stability & Compatibility

    • Broad pH Tolerance: Functions in pH 3–11, compatible with AHAs, retinol, and alkaline cleansers.

    • Salt & Surfactant Stability: Maintains viscosity in 5% NaCl solutions and with SLS/SLES (0.5% addition stabilizes shower gels for 12 months).

  3. Clean Beauty Compliance

    • Natural Origin: 100% plant-derived, vegan, and cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny certified).

    • Minimal Dosage: 0.1–0.5% usage level reduces formulation costs vs. carbomers.

Application Solutions for Key Segments

Skin Care

  • Serums & Gels: Transparent Grade (0.3%) creates crystal-clear hyaluronic acid gels with 95% light transmittance.

  • Creams: Regular Grade (0.4%) stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions, preventing phase separation at 45°C for 3 months.

Hair Care

  • Anti-Dandruff Shampoo: 0.2% Xanthan Gum suspends zinc pyrithione (ZPT) for uniform distribution, reducing sedimentation by 90%.

  • Conditioners: Enhances detangling and slip, with 20% improvement in combing force vs. guar gum.

Oral Care

  • Toothpaste: Compatible with baking soda and sensitive teeth additives, forming a smooth paste with 50% less extrusion force.
