Answer
Xanthan Gum is a natural polysaccharide commonly used as a thickener in cosmetic formulations. It is generally considered non-comedogenic and is not typically known to cause clogged pores, even in acne-prone skin. Therefore, using Xanthan Gum alone as a thickener should not lead to clogged pores.
