Overview of Gellan Gum
Gellan Gum is a high-performance polysaccharide gelling and stabilising agent produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates. It is widely used in personal care, cosmetic, and home care formulations for its excellent gel formation, suspension ability, and formulation stability at very low use levels. It appears as a fine off-white powder and offers outstanding clarity and consistency control.
In personal care products, Gellan Gum is valued for creating clear, stable gels and suspending systems. It is commonly used in facial gels, serums, toners, sheet mask essences, toothpaste, oral care gels, hand sanitisers, and clear cosmetic formulations. It provides a smooth, non-sticky skin feel and helps keep insoluble particles evenly suspended. Gellan Gum works effectively with ingredients such as Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerine CP, Aloe Vera, and Propylene Glycol to fine-tune texture and stability.
In home care applications, Gellan Gum is used in liquid detergents, air freshener gels, and speciality cleaners, where viscosity control, suspension, and product clarity are required.
ChemicalBull supplies quality-grade Gellan Gum suitable for personal care and home care manufacturing, ensuring consistent gel strength, reliable performance, and dependable bulk supply.
