Can I use Carbomer with Dehydroxanthan Gum?
Works well together
Carbomer and Dehydroxanthan Gum are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
Dehydroxanthan GumOther
- ✓Modified xanthan gum that performs well in high-salt/electrolyte formulations where standard xanthan gum loses viscosity
- ✓Creates a lightweight, non-sticky gel texture preferred in serums and essence formulas
- ✓Improves formula elegance — less stringy and more water-like feel than standard xanthan gum at equivalent viscosity
