Ingredients Details
Dehydroxanthan Gum
Common Name(s): Modified xanthan gum,enhanced sensory biopolymer thickener,natural origin rheology modifier
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides efficient aqueous thickening with improved sensory profile โ less stringiness, smoother skin feel, better cold processability โ versus native xanthan while retaining the electrolyte tolerance and natural origin.
Why It's Used: Modified xanthan solves native xanthan's main formulation limitation (draggy, stringy texture) without abandoning the biopolymer's core benefits โ enabling natural-label formulations with premium sensory performance.
How It Works: Chemical modification alters xanthan double-helix conformation and inter-chain association. pyruvate removal (dehydroxanthan) reduces anionic side-chain repulsion producing shorter relaxation times and lower elasticity (less stringy); hydroxypropyl substitution disrupts crystalline ordering for improved cold-water dispersion.
Typically Found In: Premium natural skin care,cold-process formulas

Propanediol
Common Name(s): 1,3-propanediol,zemea,bio-propanediol
CAS Number: 504-63-2
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides humectant and solvent functionality from sustainable corn-based fermentation.
Why It's Used: Bio-based propylene glycol alternative from renewable corn โ propanediol provides equivalent functionality to propylene glycol with sustainable renewable feedstock and superior skin feel.
How It Works: Two oh groups provide humectant water binding. excellent solvent for fragrances, actives, and preservatives. mild antimicrobial from diol structure for preservative system boosting. renew corn fermentation origin (dupont zemea process). better skin feel than propylene glycol โ less sticky.
Typically Found In: Virtually all cosmetic categories as pg alternative
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ20%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from corn sugar fermentation
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Propanediol's dupont tate & lyle bio products 'zemea' process ferments corn sugar to 1,3-propanediol using engineered e. coli โ one of the first commercially viable bio-fermentation routes to a cosmetic diol previously made only from petroleum. the renewable route produces chemically identical 1,3-propanediol while reducing carbon footprint by approximately 40% vs petrochemical synthesis.
