Carrageenan
Safety grade: A
Carrageenan is a natural thickening ingredient extracted from red seaweed. It helps give cosmetic products a smooth, gel-like texture that feels pleasant on the skin.
This ingredient thickens products, stabilizes emulsions (keeping oils and water mixed), creates a protective film on the skin, and helps maintain consistent texture throughout the product's shelf life.
