Carbopol® Fusion S-20 polymer is an inherently biodegradable rheology modifier that provides similar suspension, clarity and viscosity modification as Acrylates Copolymer technologies in sulfated and sulfate-free rinse-off systems

  • Broad compatibility across sulfated and sulfate-free surfactant chassis
  • Excellent clarity, thickening and suspension
  • Efficacy across a wide pH range
  • Inherently biodegradable (OECD 301B)
  • Process addresses all 12 Principles of Green Chemistry

Free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), ethoxylated ingredients (EO), and polyethylene glycol (PEGs), the new polymer has a low carbon footprint, and contains starch, a renewable resource with good traceability.

Carbopol® Fusion S-20 polymer won the Bronze Innovation Best Ingredient Award at the recent in-cosmetics® Global in Paris and the Bronze BSB Innovation Award.
