Lubrizol polymers have a long history of safe and effective use in topical formulations. At low usage levels, they provide excellent thickening, suspending and emulsifying properties leading to formulations with excellent aesthetics and skin feel. Due to the very high molecular weight of the polymers, they do not penetrate the skin or affect the biological activity of the drug. The synthetic nature of the polymers supports the microbial stability of the formulations.
