Carbopol® Aqua CC polymer

Cationic-compatible rheology modifier for great performance at low pH levels
Carbopol® Aqua CC polymer is a hydrophobically-modified polyacrylate crosspolymer, liquid rheology modifier designed to provide cationic compatibility, smooth flow, shear-thinning rheology, suspension capabilities, and high clarity for low pH applications. It is an ideal choice to thicken both surfactant-based and high cosmetic active aqueous formulations such as facial and body treatments or scrubs and formulations with high levels of cosmetic acids.
