Carbomer 940 Powder

Carbomer 940 Powder – Cosmetic Grade Thickener & Gel Former

Carbomer 940 is a high-performance synthetic polymer widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a thickener, gelling agent, stabilizer, and rheology modifier. It is especially valued for its ability to create clear, smooth, and stable gels with excellent viscosity and texture, making it ideal for a wide range of skincare and haircare products.

This fine white powder disperses easily in water and, when neutralized, forms high-viscosity gels with superior clarity and stability. Carbomer 940 is commonly used in serums, creams, lotions, gels, and emulsions to improve texture, consistency, and product performance.
