Carbomer / Carbopol-940 (Cosmetic Grade)

INCI: Carbomer 940

CAS: 9003-01-4

Features:

Benefits:

-Thickening Agent: Carbopol-940 is primarily utilized as a thickening agent in cosmetic formulations. It can significantly increase the viscosity of a product, providing a desirable texture and consistency.
-Stabilizer: It helps to stabilize emulsions, preventing the separation of oil and water phases in formulations such as creams, lotions, and gels. This stabilizing effect enhances the shelf life and overall quality of the product.
-Suspension Agent: Carbomer can suspend insoluble solids in formulations, preventing them from settling at the bottom of the container. This is particularly useful in products containing particles or pigments that need to be evenly distributed.
-Enhanced Feel and Texture: Incorporating Carbopol-940 can improve the sensory experience of a cosmetic product by imparting a smooth, silky feel upon application. It can also contribute to a non-greasy, non-tacky finish.
-Clarity and Transparency: Despite its thickening properties, Carbomer can help maintain the clarity and transparency of formulations. This is advantageous for products like clear gels or serums, where visual appeal is important.
-pH Adjustment: Carbopol-940 can be used to adjust the pH of cosmetic formulations. It is typically neutral in pH, but its compatibility with a wide range of pH levels allows formulators to achieve the desired acidity or alkalinity in their products.
-Versatile Formulation Compatibility: This ingredient is compatible with a variety of other cosmetic ingredients, including emollients, surfactants, and active compounds. Its versatility makes it suitable for use in a wide range of formulations, from skincare to haircare products.
-Long-lasting Performance: Products containing Carbopol-940 often exhibit improved staying power on the skin or hair due to its ability to form a continuous film. This can enhance the efficacy of active ingredients and prolong the desired effects of the product.
-Ease of Use: Carbomer is available in powder form, making it easy to handle and incorporate into formulations. It can be dispersed in water or other solvents with agitation, allowing for efficient and consistent blending.
-Economic Benefits: Despite being highly effective, Carbopol-940 is relatively cost-effective compared to some other thickening agents. Its low usage levels in formulations can also contribute to cost savings in the long run.
