Pemulen TR 1, with the CAS number 138789-85-2, is a polymeric emulsifier commonly used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. It is a cross-linked polyacrylic acid that functions primarily as a thickening agent and stabilizer for emulsions, particularly oil-in-water types. This substance is known for its ability to create stable emulsions with a smooth texture and is often utilized in lotions, creams, and gels. Pemulen TR 1 is characterized by its high viscosity at low concentrations, which allows formulators to achieve desired thickness without significantly increasing the amount of product. Additionally, it is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including surfactants and oils, making it versatile in formulation development. The polymer is also recognized for its ability to provide a pleasant skin feel and enhance the overall sensory experience of topical products. Its stability across various pH levels and temperatures further contributes to its popularity in the cosmetic industry.
