Carbomer Powder is a type of synthetic polymer commonly used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as a thickening and gelling agent. Carbomer is a high molecular weight polymer of acrylic acid, cross-linked with a polyalkenyl polyether. It is soluble in water, where it swells and forms a clear gel and is known for its ability to form a gel-like texture and stabilize formulations. Carbomer Powder is generally recognized as safe for use in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products when used within recommended levels.
