Q: What does 200 mesh mean?
A: It refers to a finer particle size, which typically disperses and hydrates faster than coarser grades.

Q: Why did my xanthan gum clump?
A: It hydrates quickly, so pre-mixing with glycerine and adding slowly with mixing helps reduce clumping.

Q: Can xanthan gum be blended with guar gum?
A: Yes. Many makers blend gums to adjust texture and stability.

Q: Is xanthan gum only for cosmetic use?
A: No. This listing is suitable for both food and cosmetic use.
