Ever wondered how your favorite gel moisturizer gets that silky, weightless texture? Or how your hand sanitizer stays perfectly clear and smooth?
Say hello to Carbomer FD21 — the unsung hero behind luxurious skincare textures and crystal-clear gels. At EZ Elements, we offer this high-purity, cosmetic-grade polymer to help you create products that look good, feel amazing, and perform like a dream.
What Is Carbomer FD21?
Carbomer FD21 is a synthetic polymer widely used in personal care and cosmetic formulations. Think of it as your go-to thickening, gelling, and stabilizing agent — perfect for water-based products.
And don’t worry — even though it’s science-y, it’s super user-friendly once you get the hang of it.
What Makes It Awesome?
Let’s break it down, formulation-style:
Thickens Water-Based Solutions
Need to turn liquid into a gel? Done. Carbomer FD21 hydrates and swells in water, creating beautiful, smooth textures.
Creates Clear Gels
Unlike some thickeners that turn cloudy, Carbomer delivers crystal-clear results — ideal for serums, hair gels, and hand sanitizers.
Stable & Versatile
It plays well with other ingredients, holds up across a range of pH levels, and remains stable over time.
Lightweight Skin Feel
Gives products that “barely-there” finish consumers love — silky, non-sticky, and fast-absorbing.
