Carbopol® Aqua SF-2 Polymer
from Noveon® Consumer Specialties
INCI Name: Acrylates Crosspolymer-4
Enabling low pH, high clarity cleansers with food grade
preservative claims.
Due to the increasingly negative perception of paraben and formaldehyde donor
type preservatives, the personal care market is shifting toward the use of food
grade preservatives like Sodium Benzoate. These natural preservatives require a
pH level near 5.0, which sacrifices desired formulation clarity and flow
properties when using currently available rheology modifiers. Carbopol® Aqua
SF-2 polymer responds to this market trend by offering rheology modification
that delivers high clarity and superior suspension in the 4 to 6 pH range. Now
formulators can display colorful beads, sparkling pearls, and exfoliating scrubs
while also achieving claims of “paraben-free,” “formaldehyde-free,”
“preservative-free,” and even “skin neutral pH”. |
