Carbomer

Carbomer is a high-performance thickening and stabilizing agent used in countless cosmetic formulations. Despite its synthetic origin, it is one of the most thoroughly safety-assessed ingredients in skincare. Its primary functions are: Gel formation: Creates smooth and silky gel textures that are stable and elegant. Viscosity builder: Increases thickness of creams and lotions. Provides the rich, luxurious consistency expected from quality moisturizers. Suspension agent: Holds particles (like encapsulated actives) in place. Ensures uniform distribution with every use.

In our overnight repair cream, carbomer arrives as part of our specialized ceramide mix – not something we add separately. It's resent at extremely low levels, only what is needed to suspend the ceramides effectively. Our ceramide producer pre-formulates the mix with carbomer to ensure stability and performance. Removing it would compromise the entire delivery system.
