Carbomer, also called Carbopol or Carboxypoly-methylene is a generic name for synthetic high molecular weight polymers of acrylic acid used as thickening, dispersing, suspending and emulsifying agents in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

When Carbomer encounters surfactants, what peculiar phenomenon will happen

It is estimated that many girls are very concerned about the problem of rubbing mud with skin care products. There are two main points about rubbing mud. One is that you have not exfoliated, and the other is that your skin cannot absorb it. In fact, these two statements are wrong, not only did not learn dermatology well, but also did not learn chemistry well.
Many girls think that thick lotion and thick serum are nutritious, wrong! These thick and thick textures are not because they are nutritious but because they have thickeners! In fact, just like when we drink soup, add some starch to the soup, the soup will thicken, but is the starch nutritious? The role of starch in the soup is a thickener. The same is true for yogurt. Most of the yogurt that you think is thick. If you look at the formula table, there are thickeners in it, such as gelatin, agar, or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. I especially don’t like thick masks. I feel it as soon as I put it on my face. Paste a layer of xanthan gum and carbomer.

Speaking of Carbomer, it sounds very romantic. It is the protagonist of today. The most common thickener in skin care products is carbomer. Almost all the various brands of large and small, whether Estee Lauder, Innisfree, and various categories, lotions, masks, creams, lotions, essences, almost everything in them.
Carbomer, if used in normal proportions, will not rub mud, and it will be very stable. It will stay on your face until it is washed off by the facial cleanser. But when it meets another person, it loses its integrity and immediately transforms. This person is a "cationic surfactant."
I know that when it comes to such a long word, many girls are going to faint again. Then I might explain it more clearly. Cationic surfactant is the main ingredient of hair conditioner and softener, which has antistatic and softening effects. It is also found in many skin care products, and it is also used to increase the soft and smooth touch of the skin. I will call it softener for easy understanding.

As soon as the thickener of carbomer meets the softener, flocculation and precipitation begin to occur in an environment with a pH value greater than 4, that is to say, the glue becomes a pile of piles, which is what we see "rubbing". mud". So, can you use mud-rubbing skin care products? Answer it this way. If you don't particularly hate the problem of rubbing mud, you don't need to worry about it. It's just normal colloid flocculation, which will not harm your skin. Of course, don't think that it can also exfoliate, because it is not your keratin at all.

By the way, the principle of this rubbing mud is actually the same as rubbing mud and exfoliating gel. As soon as you rub the mud treasure and the exfoliating gel on your face, you rub it, and you notice that the mud begins to fall off. It feels refreshing to rub, but it is actually flocculated gel. And these flocculated glues can’t actually remove old dead skin cells effectively, at most it sticks off the dust and oily dirt on the epidermis. These dust and oily dirt can also be washed off with a facial cleanser. Wow, it doesn’t need to be so laborious. The dead skin cells are caused by poor metabolism. In fact, it is not that easy to remove.
