Diutan Gum
Diutan Gum
High-molecular-weight microbial polysaccharide used primarily as a viscosity builder, stabilizer, and suspension aid in water-based skincare and cleansing systems. It functions as a rheology modifier and is generally used at low levels because it is highly efficient.

Risks & Warnings
Low inherent hazard profile; not classified as hazardous in PubChem/ECHA summaries. Main practical concern is product performance rather than skin toxicity. As with most gums, very rare sensitivity or formula instability can occur depending on the finished product system.
