Description

Carbomer is part of a series of polymers derived from acrylic acid. Carbomer is a large molecule capable of absorbing and holding a large amount of water. In skin care, it is used as an emulsifier to help stabilize and thicken mixtures of different ingredients. Carbomer helps control the consistency and flow of cosmetic products and provides a silky texture.
