Carbomer YK 934H

Carbomer is a synthetic polymer used primarily as a thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent in skincare and cosmetics. It effectively increases product viscosity, making lotions, gels, and creams easier to apply and distribute evenly, while preventing ingredient sedimentation or separation to ensure stable texture. Carbomer also improves skin feel, provides silky experience, helps regulate rheology, and enhances durability. Commonly found in sunscreens, moisturizers, facial cleansers, and color cosmetics, it is widely used in personal care products to improve performance and shelf life.
