"Carbopol SC-800 polymer shows the best thickening efficiency, clarity and suspension properties in studies comparing it to other hydrophobic modified polymers. This allows formulators to create unique aesthetics in their skin cleansing formulas, including the suspension of natural pearls, scrubs and other cleansing elements."says Lubrizol Life Science Beauty.
According to the company, studies on foam generation have also shown that the polymer has no negative impact on foam quality, either in terms of the volume of foam generated or its morphology.
