CARBOMER is graded A (Safe) by Expert·ING, based on COSING, FDA regulatory data.

CARBOMER

Safety grade: A

Carbomer is a clear, lightweight powder that acts like a thickening agent in skincare products. When mixed with water and a neutralizer, it transforms into a smooth gel texture.

Carbomer is used to thicken products, create gel textures, and keep emulsions (mixtures of oil and water) stable and smooth, ensuring your skincare product has the right consistency and doesn't separate over time.
