Carbopol® Aqua SF-2 polymer is an acrylates crosspolymer and liquid rheology modifier specifically designed for high-clarity surfactant cleansing formulations with moderately low pH levels ranging from 4 to 6. It provides elegant flow, viscosity enhancement, and the ability to suspend visually appealing insoluble ingredients. This polymer allows formulators to incorporate food-grade preservatives like sodium benzoate. It offers superior suspension and high clarity within the pH range of 4 to 6, enabling the inclusion of colorful beads, sparkling pearls, and exfoliating scrubs. Moreover, it facilitates "preservative-free" and "skin-neutral pH" claims in clear bath gels, shampoos, and cleansers.
