  Xanthan gum in W/O?

  Posted by samabadi on January 21, 2022 at 11:48 am

  What are your opinions on gelling the internal phase of a W/O emulsion? With xanthan gum, for example. Does it add stability, thicken, and improve spreadability? Or would it cause instability?

  Instability. In W/O emulsion you need to stabilise the water there, therefore you need oil compatible rheology modifier, so it prevents the water droplets from traveling and clumping together.
