- INCI Name
- Acrylates Copolymer
Carbopol® Aqua SF-1 polymer is a liquid acrylic rheology modifier that is lightly crosslinked. It is designed to suspend, stabilize, thicken, and enhance the appearance of surfactant-based personal cleansing products and soap-based cleansing systems. This cost-effective and easy-to-use product offers exceptional clarity around neutral pH and is considered the gold standard for thickening and suspending surfactant systems with high surfactant content.
