What Role Does Xanthan Gum Have in Cosmetics?

Xanthan gum products play an important role in the food and industrial fields. In fact, many people don't know about xanthan gum. Xanthan gum is also found in our daily cosmetics. Xanthan gum is odorless and non-toxic, and has a moisturizing and anti-aging effect on the skin.

1. The moisturizing effect of xanthan gum

Xanthan gum is often used in beauty products to keep the emulsion products separated. Its water absorption is very strong, just like glycerin. As long as you apply cosmetics and skin care products containing xanthan gum on your facial skin, you will find that facial skin cells can better absorb moisture in the air, so the moisturizing effect is very prominent.

Xanthan gum uses in cosmetics are to promote skin absorption, and is generally used in different moisturizers. You can use it if you need any product with a smooth and delicate lotion.

2. The anti-aging effect of xanthan gum

Generally speaking, xanthan gum is used for anti-aging products, and its effect on anti-aging is also very good. If the outer packaging of the skin care product indicates that the product has an anti-aging effect, it is generally that xanthan gum is incorporated into the skin care product. Xanthan gum will become a colloid like collagen after absorbing water, and if there are more colloids in collagen, does it mean that the cells can get enough support, so the cells will not be soft, and the entire facial skin will become more elastic.

3. The wrinkle-removing effect of xanthan gum

The principle of wrinkle removal of xanthan gum is actually like this. It can be said that skin care products have the same principles as micro plastic surgery. All the anti-aging products we use basically contain hyaluronic acid, peptide collagen and some plant ingredients. Peptide collagen can accelerate the renewal of the cell surface and stimulate the synthesis of epidermal collagen. Hyaluronic acid not only has a moisturizing effect, but also works with collagen to support the sunken epidermis in the skin. Once supported, these so-called wrinkles are naturally reduced, which is similar to micro plastic surgery.
