Carbomer
Low Risk
Non-comedogenic · Non-irritating
Carbomer is a synthetic polymer of acrylic acid used as a thickener, gelling agent, and emulsion stabiliser in skincare. It creates clear, lightweight gel textures and helps suspend insoluble ingredients. When neutralised with a base it forms a stable, high-viscosity gel. It is considered safe and non-irritating at typical use concentrations.
