Rheocare® XGN: a suspending, stabilizing, thickening polymer
Abstract
Rheocare® XGN is the first polymer launched by BASF based on purely vegan xanthan gum. It is 100-percent produced using renewable feedstock and no genetically modified organisms (GMO). As a powerful thickening agent and stabilizer for emulsions and surfactant-based formulations, this highly flexible polysaccharide can be used in various cosmetic applications, even oral care. It creates crystal-clear formulations, has a high electrolyte and ethanol tolerance, can be processed cold, and is easy to use – even without neutralization. Rheocare® XGN is also COSMOS-approved and suitable for NATRUE formulations.
