What is Carbomer

Xi’an Lyphar is one of the professional manufacturers of cosmetics raw materials in China, and Carbomer is one of the main items in our company, the brief introduction is as follows.

Carbomer is a high molecular polymer of acrylic acid-bonded allyl sucrose or pentaerythritol allyl ether. Calculated according to the dry product, the carboxylic acid group (—COOH) should be 56.0% to 68.0%. Carbohydrate, also known as carbomer, is a cross-linked acrylic resin obtained by cross-linking with acrylic acid such as pentaerythritol. It is a significant rheology modifier. The neutralized carbomer is an excellent gel matrix. It has important uses such as thickening and suspension, simple process and good stability, and is widely used in lotions, creams and gels.

Function:

Can be used as an emulsifier

1. Not limited by HLB value and PlT

2. Can emulsify any liquid oil at room temperature

3. Emulsify waxes if the wax is melted during the manufacturing process

4. No re-emulsification when re-wetting, easy to prepare waterproof emulsion without the film-forming agent

5. Can be prepared: moisturizing creams, lotions, cleansers, sunscreen products, alcohol-free perfumes, fragrance hair conditioners (enhancing shine, easy to comb), hand washes, low-consistency sprayable emulsions and transparent microemulsions, etc.

Used in skin care products

Hydrophilic thickener, stabilizing emulsifier, suspending agent, and gelling agent, with good transparency, it needs to maintain medium to weak alkaline to have consistency, so it cannot coexist with acid activating ingredients, in addition, Carbomer is also afraid of salts Therefore, it is impossible to add mineral ions, otherwise the consistency will disappear and it will be irritating to the eye mucous membrane. For high molecular weight polymers, the higher the number (eg Carbomer 940), the larger the polymer molecule.
