Carbomer, with CAS number 9007-20-9, is a term used for a series of polymers primarily made from acrylic acid.
It's commonly used in skincare and personal care products as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer.
Carbomers are known for their ability to efficiently suspend solids in liquids and help control the viscosity of the final product.
These polymers are often found in a wide range of products such as lotions, creams, gels, and cosmetics.
They can enhance the texture of products, making them easier to apply and more stable.
Carbomers are also used in pharmaceutical formulations, including in oral and topical medications.
