INCI Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Cross polymer

Non-ethoxylated polymer to simplify the formulation of mild, oil-in-water emulsions great for sunscreen formulations

NM-Carbomer TR-2 is a high molecular weight, cross-linked copolymer of acrylic acid and a hydrophobic C10-30 alkyl acrylate co-monomer. It is a versatile, non-ethoxylated polymer designed to create stable and mild oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels. It is a great choice for use in many skin care formulations. NM-Carbomer TR-2 provides low viscosity emulsions particularly suitable for skin care applications via spray mechanism. 

Features and Benefits
