Carbopol Aqua CC polymer is used as a stabiliser in a number
of low pH formulations. An example is a nourishing skin
yogurt (Table 3) that is formulated with AHA and methyl
gluceth-20 and fortified with different vitamin derivatives to
promote lighter, younger looking and softer skin.
A low pH emulsion, it features a primary emulsifier system
that is a glucose-derived combination of mild nonionic emulsifiers
(Glucamate* SSE-20 and Glucate* SS, co-emulsified with
Promulgen* D). The formulation also contains Schercemol*
NGDO ester to mask the tackiness and stickiness of AHA.
