NM-Carbomer 60: New Solution for Amino Acid Cleansing Formulations

2026-10-27 23:50:45

As autumn is coming, skin enters its seasonal sensitivity phase. Dryness, redness, and a compromised barrier have become consumers' most pressing skin concerns. Gentle cleansing, barrier-friendly care, and amino acid-based cleansing are now the core trends in the fall beauty category.

Amino acid surfactants have long been plagued by poor thickening and weak rheology property, while traditional carbomers tend to thin down and lose stability in high-surfactant systems — a persistent pain point in fall cleansing product development.

As the global 2nd-largest manufacturer of carbomer and acrylates copolymers, Anhui Newman Fine Chemical keeps pace with the seasonal skincare trend and proudly releases NM-Carbomer 60, a hydrophobically modified carbomer tailored for amino acid cleansing systems. It delivers a rheology solution featuring stable performance, high clarity and great electrolyte tolerance for mild autumn cleansing formulations.

NM-Carbomer 60  INCI Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer It is a hydrophobically modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer. While retaining the outstanding thickening and suspending properties of traditional  NM-Carbomer 970, 981, 990, 934 etc. , it overcomes the salt-sensitivity limitation of traditional carbomers. It enables stable thickening across a broad pH at 4~11, perfectly meeting the formulation requirements of mild, low-irritation and barrier-friendly autumn cleansing products.

NM-Carbomer 60 features both outstanding thickening efficiency and electrolyte tolerance. its neutralized aqueous solution with 1.0 wt.% NaCl at 1.0% dosage keeps viscosity ≥4500 mPa·s. It is particularly compatible with amino acid surfactant systems. At approximately pH 5.8, a weakly acidic condition close to the skin’s natural pH, it forms a three-dimensional crosslinked gel network. While delivering robust thickening and mild rheology control, it optimizes sensory attributes and improves suspension and moldability of formulations.

It is ideally suited for facial cleansers, amino acid cleansers, shampoos, body washes, soap-based cleansing products, hand sanitizer gels and liquid hand soaps, as well as other body and hand cleansing items. It can also be incorporated into sunscreen lotions, sunscreen sprays and other sunscreen formulations.
