More about Carbomer
Carbomer, also known as polyacrylic acid, is a high-molecular weight polymer used in skincare formulations as a thickening agent. It is highly effective at creating a gel-like consistency and improving the stability and texture of creams, lotions, and gels. This synthetic polymer is versatile and is widely used in various skincare and cosmetic products due to its ability to enhance viscosity and create transparent gels.
When carbomer is added to a formulation, it absorbs water and swells, which helps to create a smooth and even texture. It also aids in dispersing and emulsifying other ingredients, ensuring that the product maintains a consistent and appealing appearance. Carbomer is commonly used in products such as moisturizers, serums, and gels, where a specific texture and viscosity are desired.
