Creams 

Formula Guidelines:

Typical recommended dosage at 0.2-1.0 wt %. 

To disperse Carbomer 940 completely, it should be slowly and carefully sprinkled to dispersion medium while the mix is stirred rapidly to avoid formation of lumps; extremely high shear rate mixer should be carefully employed to avoid viscosity loss. 

The ideal viscosity can be achieved at pH ranges of 5.0～10.0 when neutralized;

In a hydoalcoholic system, a correct neutralizer must be chosen carefully based on the amount of alcohol to be gelled. 

After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep stable thickening ability.
