  reducing stringiness from xanthan gum

  Posted by kirsten123 on June 24, 2022 at 12:59 pm

  I am working on an emulsion containing xanthan gum and find that it is very stringy.  I came across Bentone Hydroclay 2100 (hectorite) from Elementis and that has seemed to help significantly.  Just wondering if anyone has had success with other ingredients to help reduce stringiness?  Thanks!

  Depends on how much are you using and what grade. 
  If you use standard Mesh 200, not much can help. Try to source some better grade and you will see great improvement.

  I would try with Solagum AX or Ecogel instead of Xanthan Gum.
