Carbopol® Silk 100 polymer

Carbopol® Silk 100 polymer is a crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymerized in a toxicologically preferred cosolvent system. It provides excellent suspending capability and stabilizes insoluble conditioning agents commonly used in 2-in-1 shampoos. At low concentrations, it offers excellent flow properties and exhibits synergistic behavior with salt. Designed to optimize product performance at the lowest possible cost, Carbopol® Silk 100 polymer allows for a reduction in surfactant levels and conditioning agents. It also enables the incorporation of non-silicone-based conditioning ingredients, particularly natural oils.
