Description
Sodium Carrageenan is the sodium salt of carrageenan, a natural polymer obtained from red seaweed. In cosmetics, it is used as a thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent. It helps maintain a uniform texture of products, improves the distribution of active ingredients, and creates a thin protective film on the skin that retains moisture. It can also have moisturizing properties, especially when combined with other components. It is often used in creams, serums, masks, and also in decorative cosmetics.
