Carbopol® SC-200 polymer is a white powder, hydrophobically-modified cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer that is polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system. It has been designed by optimizing the level of crosslinking and hydrophobic content to provide outstanding performance in soap-based formulations. It provides long-term thermal stability in high pH soap-based cleansers and is suggested for use in body and hand washes, shampoos, and mild personal cleansing products.
