Xanthan Gum
Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide that is added to cosmetics and personal care products as a binder, emulsion stabilizer, surfactant emulsifying agent, and a viscosity increasing agent. Xanthan gum is polysaccharide created through fermentation of sugar (glucose, sucrose, or lactose) by Xanthomonas campestris bacteria. Then, it is precipitated (made into a solid) by isopropyl alcohol. After being dried, it is ground into fine powder where it can be added to liquid to form gum or gel.
In personal care products, xanthan gum is used to prepare water gels. Is also used in oil-in-water emulsions to help stabilize the oil droplets against coalescence, and has some skin hydrating properties. Simply put, xanthan gum makes a product thick enough at rest in the bottle to keep the mixture fairly homogeneous, but the shear forces generated by shaking thins it so it can be easily poured. When it exits the bottle, the shear forces are removed and it thickens back up.
