Carbomer is widely used as a thickening, suspending, and emulsifying agent in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products. It helps stabilize formulations by increasing viscosity and providing a smooth texture in gels, creams, and lotions. In topical medications, it enhances the uniform application and controlled release of active ingredients. Due to its ability to form clear gels, it is commonly found in acne treatments, hand sanitizers, and eye drops. Carbomer also acts as a stabilizer in sustained-release oral dosage forms and is valued for its biocompatibility and non-irritating properties.
