CFI Xanthan Gum - Food Grade is a polysaccharide powder used as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser in DIY cosmetic and food recipes. It is highly efficient, so only small amounts are usually needed to build viscosity and improve texture in creams, lotions, cleansers, and gels. This version is 80 mesh, which is considered a good all-round particle size for general use. It is a raw formulation ingredient, not a ready-made gel or finished cosmetic.

♡ Why we love it: Xanthan gum is one of those economical, hardworking ingredients that can dramatically improve the feel and stability of a formulation with very little product. It is especially useful for makers who want smoother textures and better suspension without overcomplicating the recipe.

This product is certified: Food Grade, Vegan, Halaal, and Kosher.
