Carbopol Aqua CC polymer facilitates the formulation of stable
low pH gels and emulsions that have a yield value suitable for
the suspension of powders, beads and microcapsules. It offers
shear-thinning rheology and smooth feel in applications.
It is also compatible with low pH actives like AHAs, vitamin
acids (L-ascorbic acid and L-nicotinic acid) and skin whitening
actives (such as kojic acid). These cosmetic acids can be used to
neutralise Carbopol Aqua CC polymer to the desired low pH
where these materials can provide efficacy.
