Emulsion stabilisation by adding 0.2-0.3% xanthan gum in the aqueous phase. This also increases the viscosity of the emulsion and provides a soft, slightly slippery feel (xanthan gum is used in particular to stabilise emulsions made with the emulsifier Gélisucre).
Production of gels of medium to thick viscosity with 1% to 2% xanthan gum in water or hydrosol.

Preparation of a cold gel
Utensil: Hand whisk or electric mixer
Sprinkle the xanthan gum into the water (or hydrosol) while stirring to separate the gum particles.
Wait for the xanthan grains to rehydrate completely (about 5-10 minutes), stirring regularly, then mix well with a mini whisk or hand mixer to ensure a smooth consistency.
Note: It is possible to make a lump-free gel with very little stirring, even when cold.
Preparation of a hot gel
Utensil: Hand whisk or electric mixer
Heat the water (or hydrosol) to between 40 and 70°C, and add the xanthan gum "in a shower" while stirring simultaneously.
The gel forms in the same way as when cold, but rehydration will occur more quickly.
Mix thoroughly with a mini whisk or electric mixer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Essential Oils
1 ml = approximately 35 drops (with our Aroma-Zone dropper caps)
Carrier Oils
1 pump (Aroma-Zone aluminium pump) = approx. 0.15 ml
Mass / Volume conversion (for a liquid)
Mass (g) = Density x Volume (ml) at 20°C
Further information
1 full teaspoon = between 3 and 4.5 ml
1 full tablespoon = between 7.5 and 10 ml
However, these spoon ratios depend on a number of factors (e.g. viscosity of the liquid, temperature, depth and size of the spoon, rheological behaviour of the liquid), and we strongly advise you to use precise measuring equipment, such as graduated test tubes, graduated pipettes, and precision scales.
Wonderful quality!
It forms a few small lumps, but it's very effective for jellies
Excellent
Far too many products out of stock. You're alienating your loyal customers who make their own products. A real shame, you'll regret it.
Perfect for my intended use.
