Blast! What is Kapom

Time:2023-03-08
Carbomer, short for acrylic resin, is a commonly used cosmetic additive.

Carbomer has an obvious protective effect on human skin, which can enhance the resistance of human skin to ultraviolet rays. Carbomer is an important raw material for making cosmetics and gels, which can reduce inflammation and sterilization. Carbomer plays a very important role in the production of cosmetics, which can integrate various ingredients in cosmetics and keep them in a stable and appropriate state.

Kapom introduced

1, cosmetics commonly used thickening agent ---- carbomer

carbomer, also known as Carbomer, or acrylic resin, is a popular cosmetic additive.Carbomer is acrylic acid bonded to allyl sucrose or pentaerythritol allyl ether crosslinking acrylic resin (polymer).The carboxylic acid group (-COOh) is 56.0% ~ 68.0%, which is a very important rheological regulator.

Carbomer molecules, as carboxyl donors, can combine with one or more hydroxyl groups to form hydrogen bonds and thicken. This neutralization method takes time. Commonly used hydroxyl donors are nonionic surfactants and polyols.Capo after neutralization is an excellent gel matrix, has important uses such as thickening, suspension, simple process, good stability, widely used in emulsion, cream, gel.Capo is the signature dish of Novo Corporation (formerly Goulide, one of the oldest companies in the United States), whose products include the Carbopol series of rheological modifiers and the Pemulen series of polymer emulsifiers.

Carbomer produces highly effective thickening in very low doses (conventional 0.25-0.5%), resulting in the preparation of lotions, creams, gels and transdermal preparations with a wide range of viscosity and rheological properties.

Carbomer is an acrylic polymer containing polyalkenyl polyether crosslinked.Although these resins are weakly acidic, weaker than acetic acid, they readily react to form salts whose PH in water ranges from 2.8 to 3.2, depending on the concentration of the resin.The higher the concentration the higher the concentration of carboxyl, so the lower the PH.

2. Safety indicators for Carbomer

Carbomer has been used in a variety of medical products for decades.Oral administration is fully permitted in the short or long term.It has no deformation-causing, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects on the skin and mucous membranes

The efficacy and action of carbomer

1, protect the skin

Carbomer has obvious protective effect on human skin, it has a certain affinity for human skin, usually people add it to the cosmetics, later use, can protect the skin, and can reduce irritating substances, irritation and damage to human skin and skin mucous membranes, can prevent a variety of allergy symptoms.

2, anti-UV

Carbomer has a certain activity, it daub in the surface of the human skin, can enhance the resistance of human skin to ultraviolet light, can reduce the damage of ultraviolet light to human skin, used in summer, with the addition of carbomer sunscreen products, will play a particularly ideal sunscreen effect, can prevent the skin from blackening can also prevent the skin from being burned by ultraviolet light.

3, reduce the viscosity

Carbo M has a certain degree of loose, and it is a kind of moisture absorption is particularly strong slightly acidic substance, usually in the production of gel or cosmetics, can add the right amount of Han aunt, it can reduce the viscosity of these substances, and can maintain their stability, in the present industrial production, carbo M is an important raw material for the production of cosmetics and gels.

4, anti-inflammatory and sterilization

Carbomer is also a natural medicinal ingredient, it can reduce inflammation and sterilization, now on the medical market to sell carbomer eye drops, is made of it as the main raw material of medicine, it has a good effect on human eye inflammation, can make patients appear pain and red eyes symptoms soon subside.

5. Ensure the quality of cosmetics

Carbomer is a chemical neutralizer that plays a very important role in the production of cosmetics. It can integrate various ingredients in cosmetics and keep them in a stable and appropriate state. Moreover, cosmetics added with carbomer will have a good substrate, which makes people feel very comfortable when applied on the skin.

Because of its special effect, it is favored by cosmetic manufacturers.
