    i wanted to know if/how the addition of xanthan gum to a gel (using carbomer) impacts to its clarity…..any opinions??
    and if anyone has experience in the solubility of carbomer to glycerin and not in water……thank you!!!

    You can get Xanthan Gum in a clear grade (Vanzan-NF C) but I am not sure how it would do with Carbomer, What is the purpose? Why not simply increase the Carbomer?

    Vanzan-NF C  works very well with carbomers to provide clarity and increase viscosity particularly Ultrez 10 and 21.We have many products formulated with this combo.
