Carbomer

Description :

Overview of Carbomer

Carbomer is a high-molecular-weight synthetic polymer of acrylic acid widely used in the cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical, and topical formulation industries. It is primarily used as a thickening agent, gelling agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier. Carbomer is known for its ability to create clear, smooth, and stable gels at very low concentrations, making it a key ingredient in modern skincare and personal care formulations.

Carbomer in skin care is extensively used in products like gels, creams, lotions, serums, and facial cleansers. It helps improve texture, enhances spreadability, and provides a smooth, non-sticky feel to formulations. It also plays a major role in stabilizing emulsions and suspending active ingredients evenly throughout the product.

Carbomer other name is commonly known as “Carbopol,” which is a trade name widely used in the cosmetic industry. Different grades such as Carbomer 940 and Carbopol Polymer are used depending on viscosity and formulation requirements.

At ChemicalBull Pvt. Ltd., we supply high-quality Carbomer in bulk, ensuring consistent performance, purity, and reliability for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturers worldwide.
