Cosmetic Grade Gellan Gum-CAS 71010-52-9
Cosmetic-grade Gellan Gum, also known as Cold Setting Resin, is a high-efficiency microbial polysaccharide thickening and gel-forming raw material fermented and purified by microorganisms. It is a high-end alternative to traditional thickeners such as carbomer, xanthan gum and sodium polyacrylate in cosmetic formulas.
Compared with conventional thickening agents, Gellan Gum has the unique advantage of ultra-low dosage gel formation, which can form high-transparent, uniform and elastic gel systems with only a small amount of addition. It features cold-set molding: disperse evenly in cold water, heat to dissolve completely, and form stable crystal clear gel after cooling, simplifying the production process greatly.
The formed gel has strong toughness and excellent shape retention, not easy to collapse or water separate, and presents a high-grade crystal clear texture. It has industry-leading suspension stabilization performance, which can stably suspend plant micro-particles, essence beads, exfoliating particles and functional microcapsules for a long time, completely solving the problems of formula precipitation, delamination and floating materials.
With wide pH and electrolyte tolerance, it maintains stable viscosity and gel strength in acidic, neutral and salt-containing complex formulas, without thinning or system instability. The gel texture is delicate and elastic, non-sticky and non-residue on the skin, with high safety and no irritation. It is the preferred core raw material for high-end transparent cosmetics, stable suspension formulas and long-term shape-retaining skincare products.



Key Benefits
• Ultra-Low Dosage & High Cost Performance: Effective thickening and gel forming with extremely low addition (0.02%-0.2%), far less dosage than xanthan gum and carbomer, greatly reducing formula cost.
• Cold Setting Molding & Simple Process: Easy cold water dispersion, low-temperature dissolution and cooling molding, no complex neutralization process, high production efficiency.
• Crystal High Transparent Gel Texture: The formed gel is clear and translucent without foggy or flocculent impurities, presenting high-end crystal clear appearance for transparent cosmetics.
• Super Strong Suspension & Shape Retention: Long-term stable suspension of functional particles, anti-precipitation and anti-delamination, strong gel toughness, no collapse or water separation during long-term storage.
• Wide Tolerance & Stable Adaptability: Excellent acid, alkali and salt resistance, stable gel strength in complex electrolyte formulas, no viscosity attenuation or system failure.
• Delicate Elastic & Non-Greasy Skin Feel: The gel is elastic and smooth, non-sticky and non-residue on skin, refreshing and light texture, compatible with all skin type formulas.
• High Safety & Mild Properties: Microbial natural fermentation source, high purification, odorless and non-irritating, safe for sensitive skin and mild cosmetic systems.
Applications
• High-End Transparent Gel Skincare: Core gel-forming and thickening raw materials for transparent moisturizing gel, aloe vera gel, soothing gel, after-sun repair gel and crystal texture skincare products.
• Suspending Particle Functional Formula: Special stabilizer for bead essence, particle toner, exfoliating skincare products and microcapsule sustained-release formulas to achieve uniform and long-term stable suspension.
• Essence & Mask Liquid Series: Added in hydrating essence, soothing essence and high-grade mask liquid to optimize texture, improve layering and enhance product grade.
• Daily Chemical Light Texture Products: Widely used in floral water, toner, refreshing lotion and mild skincare products to thicken and stabilize the system, improve fluidity and appearance.
• Long-Lasting Shape-Retaining Formula: Applied in skincare products requiring long-term shaping and anti-water separation, effectively solving the problem of gel collapse and water precipitation during shelf life.
