คำถาม
What is the recommended usage percentage and the correct mixing method for Xanthan Gum to achieve a gel texture for cosmetic formulations? How should it be mixed when the formula contains oil or glycerin? Does the method apply to different types of Xanthan Gum like clear gel type (smooth, normal 200 Mesh, easy to spread, 80 Mesh)?
คำตอบ
Xanthan Gum Mixing Ratio with Water
Xanthan Gum is commonly used as a thickener in cosmetic formulations. The recommended usage rate for Xanthan Gum is typically 0.1-2% of the total formula, with 1% being a common starting point to achieve desired viscosity.
Mixing Method:
- Add Xanthan Gum to the water phase of your formulation.
- Stir or blend at high speed until the powder is completely dissolved and a gel texture is formed.
- If your formula contains oil or glycerin, you can first disperse the Xanthan Gum in the oil or glycerin before adding it to the water phase. This can help prevent clumping and make it easier to dissolve.
This applies to various types of Xanthan Gum, including:
- Xanthan Gum (clear gel type, smooth texture)
- Xanthan Gum (clear gel type, normal texture, 200 Mesh)
- Xanthan Gum (clear gel type, normal texture, easy to spread)
- Xanthan Gum (clear gel type, normal texture, 80 Mesh)
Always adjust the percentage based on the specific viscosity you wish to achieve in your final product.
