# Xanthan gum

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/xanthan-gum

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United Kingdom.

When applied topically, this gentle ingredient delivers reliable sun protection, neutralizes free radicals, reduces moisture loss, and visibly improves skin hydration and texture. It suits individuals with dry or oily skin particularly well, and you will most often find it blended into lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/serum). Because it layers easily, it integrates smoothly into your daily skincare routine.
