Carbomer is a high molecular weight acrylic acid. Its main difference lies in the type of cross-linking agent between polymers and the solvent for synthesizing polymers. When it is neutralized by alkali to form a gel, it can absorb and retain moisture and provide viscosity, stability, and suspension in gels, creams, and emulsions. It is a thickener with extensive fluidity. It has high efficiency and low dosage, stable emulsification, and high transparency.
HK-940 has the ability to absorb and retain water when it's neutralized by aklali to form clear gel. It plays an important role in many commercial products such as gels, creams and lotions, providing viscosity stabilization and suspension properties.

Carbomer is often applied in anti-aging products, body lotions/creams/gels, conditioners, facial care products, hand sanitizers, shampoos, and styling products ect.
1.Carbomer is a highly efficient thickener. In cosmetic formulations, it can increase the thickness of products, giving them a more suitable texture and use feeling.
2.Carbomer can provide good stability and suspension for cosmetics. It can evenly disperse insoluble particles in the system to prevent sedimentation and stratification.
3.Gel formation:When carbomer is neutralized by alkali, it will form a gel. This gel has various uses in cosmetics.
4.Carbomer has certain emulsifying properties and can help stabilize emulsified systems such as emulsions and creams.
5.Carbomer can adjust the skin feel of cosmetics. It can make products feel more refreshing and non-greasy on the skin, and at the same time increase the smoothness and softness of products.
