Xanthan Gum is a high molecular weight, long chain carbohydrate (polysaccharide), which is used as a natural gelling agent, emulsion stabiliser, binder and viscosity regulator.

Glyceryl Caprylate is a co-emulsifier that is mainly used to stabilise O/W-emulsions (oil-in-water-emulsions) and is produced from various vegetable oils. Glyceryl Caprylate also restores the natural oils of the skin, regulates the skin moisture and acts as a humidifier to the skin.
