SODIUM CARBOMER

Sodium Carbomer is a thickening agent that helps create smooth, gel-like textures in cosmetic products. It's made by neutralizing carbomer, a synthetic polymer, with sodium hydroxide.

This ingredient thickens products, stabilizes emulsions (helping oils and water mix), creates a lightweight gel feel, and forms a protective film on the skin.
