Dehydroxanthan gum

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Dehydroxanthan gum or decyl cocoate or TEGOSOFT DC is a special kind of polysaccharide. It is a softening and emollient ingredient used in the cosmetic industry. This ingredient is known for its high compatibility with the skin and its ability to form a protective film on the skin surface, which protects the skin from external influences. This ingredient is mainly used in skin and body creams, and in combination with other ingredients, it helps to increase the viscosity of the product.

Decyl cocoate, or TEGOSOFT DC, is also often used in tanning products (tanning and sun protection), shampoos, shower gels, deodorants, makeup and many other cosmetic products. In addition to this ability to form a protective film on the skin, this polysaccharide also has the benefits of feeling silky on the skin and improving the final appearance of the cosmetic product. Regardless of the variety of product formulations, TEGOSOFT DC delivers consistent quality and predictable results, which is an advantage for manufacturers that anyone who cares about their skin and appearance will appreciate.
