Excipients for Topical Drug Treatments

Taking topical treatments to next level

Carbopol® polymers provides critical qualities to topical treatments, including:

  • Bioadhesion / Mucoadhesion – optimize drug delivery by prolonging product contact with biological membranes, improve patient compliance via reduced need for frequent drug administration, and protect and lubricate mucosal surfaces
  • Efficient Rheology Modification for gels, creams, lotions, sprays, and eye drops
  • Ideal Aesthetic and Sensory Qualities – increase patient compliance through low-irritation, aesthetically-pleasing formulations with optimal feel
