Practical formulation guide
Usage level: Suggested usage level: 0.5 - 2 %
Use the polymer's specific dosage and adjust in small increments until the target rheology is reached.
How to use and incorporate: Premix with glycerin, propylene glycol or butylene glycol (1 part gum to 3–5 parts polyol) and disperse in the water while stirring; let hydrate 20–30 minutes until a gel forms.
Formulation tips:
  • Carbomers lose viscosity with electrolytes and at acidic pH; add salts, extracts and acidic actives carefully.
  • To suspend particles (exfoliants, beads), a thickener with yield value is required, such as carbomer or xanthan gum.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Compatible with most humectants, water-soluble actives and preservatives. Check compatibility with surfactants and salts.
Storage: Cool, dry place, protected from light. Cosmetic grade / raw material for formulation.
Precautions: Avoid inhaling the powder. Powder spills with water are very slippery.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
