Lubrizol Life Science Beauty (LLS Beauty) announces the launch of its latest solution: Carbopol® Fusion S-20 polymer.
Carbopol® polymer sets a new standard for sustainability and biodegradability without compromising performance.
Suitable for Sulfate and Sulfate-free Surfactant
Carbopol® Fusion S-20 polymer is an inherently biodegradable rheology modifier that provides thickening, suspension, and clarity similar to acrylates copolymer and is ideal for
skin cleansing and
hair care applications.
It is also claimed to be the first Carbopol® polymer to address all 12 Principles of Green Chemistry in its manufacturing process. Suitable for sulfate and sulfate-free
surfactant chassis, Carbopol® Fusion S-20 polymer has a smooth, honey-like flow that provides a light, soft sensory experience on the skin. It performs similarly to Carbopol® Aqua polymers, with good foam volume, creamy foam texture, pH flexibility, and excellent rheology modification benefits. It also suspends zinc pyrithione and silicone emulsions at low use levels with efficient viscosity.
Carbopol® Fusion S-20 polymer addresses all 12 Principles of Green Chemistry in manufacturing, a framework for designing and improving materials, products, and processes to reduce the impact of chemicals and their synthesis on the environment and health. It is free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), ethoxylated ingredients (EO), and polyethylene glycol (PEGs), has a low carbon footprint, and contains starch, a renewable resource with good traceability.
It is the latest polymer innovation in the Lubrizol family of Carbopol® polymers, a breakthrough technology that Lubrizol pioneered 60 years ago. Lubrizol is the supplier of carbomers and acrylate powder polymers and liquids in the world, innovating over 100 unique grades and specifications to meet ever-changing needs in the market. Applications for Carbopol® polymers reach far and wide, supporting global markets in industries from health, beauty, and home to petrochemistry and oil. Engineered with varying levels of crosslinking and ingredients in powder or liquid emulsion form, they inspire boundless formulating opportunities that are distinctive and functionally diverse.
