In cosmetics and personal care products, Xanthan Gum functions as a binder, emulsifier, and a thickening agent. As the name implies, a binder is an ingredient that binds together other ingredients. As a binder, xanthan gum functions to prevent other ingredients used in a cosmetic formulation from separating or splitting. For example, binders are often used in pressed powders to keep them together in the container. Emulsifiers help to mix oil and water-based ingredients to form an even stable product- making Xanthan a great ingredient for products that contain both water and oil components.
