carbomer, also known as Carbomer, is an acrylic crosslinked resin obtained by crosslinking acrylic acid with and is a very important rheological regulator. Its chemical name is Carbomer, 910, 934, 934P, 940, 941, 971P and 974P are used as rheological regulators in cosmetics. It has important uses such as thickening and suspension, and can produce better thickening effect at a lower dosage (conventional dosage 0.25-0.5%), so as to prepare a wide viscosity range and different rheological emulsions, creams, gels and transdermal preparations. For example, Carbopol940 is suitable for gels and creams, Carbopol941 is suitable for gels and lotions, etc.

The functions and effects of carbomer include the following:
1. Protect skin:

3. Reduce viscosity:
Carbomer has a certain degree of porosity, and it is a slightly acidic substance with particularly strong hygroscopicity, so an appropriate amount of carbomer can be added when making gels or cosmetics to reduce the viscosity of these substances to maintain the stability of the effective substance
4. Anti-inflammatory sterilization:
Carbomer is also a natural medicinal ingredient, it can reduce inflammation and sterilization, and now the pharmaceutical market is selling carbomer eye drops, which is made of it as the main raw material of the drug, it has a good effect on human eye inflammation, can make patients appear pain and eye swelling symptoms quickly subside
