Alfa Chemistry Releases Carbomer Series Products for Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Manufacturing

Alfa Chemistry announced to have released several carbomer series products for the cosmetics and personal care products manufacturing industry.

In the early May, 2020, Alfa Chemistry announced to have released several carbomer series products, including Carbomer 940, Carbomer 980, Carbomer U20, Carbomer U21, for the cosmetics and personal care products manufacturing industry. As one of the world’s leading chemical suppliers and also as a renowned CRO service provider, Alfa Chemistry is fully supportive to its clients worldwide, offering an extensive catalog of building blocks, reagents, catalysts, reference materials, and research chemicals in a wide range of applications.

Carbomers are white, fluffy powders that are primarily made from acrylic acid. They are mainly used as ingredients in a wide range of personal care products such as styling gel, facial moisturizer, sunscreen, shampoo, anti-aging treatment, eye cream, cleanser and scrubs.

“Carbomers serve as thickening agents to help control the viscosity and flow of cosmetic products. They also help distribute and suspend insoluble solids into liquid, and prevent the oil and liquid parts of a solution from separating. They have the ability to absorb and retain water, and can swell up to 1000 times their original volume when dispersed in water. This accounts for why carbomers are a necessity in producing cosmetic and personal care products,” says a senior scientist from Alfa Chemistry.

The four carbomers provided by Alfa Chemistry include:

Carbomer 940

Carbomer 940 are white powders needed in the production of clear gels, hydroalcholic gels, and creams. Compatible with other materials used in styling gels, Carbomer 940 plays the role of high viscosity builder and stabilizer, providing clarity and a high suspending ability in hair gels.

Carbomer 980

Also in the form of white powder, Carbomer 980 is used as high viscosity builder and stabilizer in clear gels, hydroalcholic gels, creams and lotions. It has benefits in lightening skin, providing clarity and a high suspending ability in hair gels, as well as shortening flow rheology.

Carbomer U20

Also in the form of white powder, Carbomer U20 finds its place in the manufacturing of shampoos, body washes, gels, lotions and creams. Its excellent electrolyte tolerance makes it well-suited for formulations containing higher levels of botanical ingredients or humectants such as Sodium PCA. In addition to exceptional clarity in various systems, Carbomer U20 also provides a rich creamy skin feel during the rubout phase after applying oil-in-water based creams and lotions. Moreover, it is effective across a broad pH range, leaving space for formulation flexibility.

Carbomer U21

Similar to Carbomer 940, Carbomer 980 and Carbomer U20, Carbomer U21 is white powder mainly used in the production of clear gels, hydroalcholic gels, creams and lotions. Serving as high viscosity builder and stabilizer, it can moderate creamy skin, shorten flow rheology, and reduce processing time and costs by rapid wetting and improved swelling time.
