About Product

Carbomer is a synthetic, high-molecular-weight polymer of acrylic acid, widely used in personal and home care products as a gelling, thickening, and suspending agent. It helps stabilize emulsions, control viscosity, and enhance the sensory feel of creams, lotions, gels, and serums. Carbomer is valued for its excellent clarity in gels, non-tacky texture, and compatibility with a wide range of active ingredients and pH levels, making it ideal for sophisticated formulations.
