That stringy, draggy gel texture? 🫠
Yep, xanthan gum is often the culprit.

Standard xanthan gum is a brilliant thickener, but in higher percentages or emulsions it can create that elastic, “snotty” feel some formulators hate.

Enter Xanthan Gum – Clear ✨

🌿 Clear or near-transparent gels
🌿 Smoother flow, less elasticity
🌿 Reduced stringiness
🌿 More elegant skin feel

This photo shows 1% Xanthan Gum – Clear (left) vs 1% Standard Xanthan Gum (right) in water. The clarity difference speaks for itself 👀

In creams and emulsions, it’s all about feel, less drag, cleaner break, better glide.

Christmas Deliveries & Closure Dates 🎄✨

As we start to wrap up for the year, we just want to say a huge thank you for all your support throughout 2025.

We are still a small family business run out of our home in Devonport, and we genuinely wouldn’t be here without you. Whether you are a DIY maker or running your own skincare brand, we are so grateful you choose to source your ingredients from us.

Last day to place orders: 21 December
Reopening: 12 January

You can still place orders while we are closed, but they will not be packed or shipped until we are back.

With peak courier season and the January backlog, there may be a few delays, so thank you so much for your patience.

Every order, message, review and shared creation means the world to us.

Thank you for letting us be part of your creative journey 💛
