  Xathan Gum, Carbomer and other gelling agents/thickeners - can they hinder penetration of actives?

  Anyone know anything about this? I was in particular thinking about drug and non drug actives such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, niacinamide, botanical extracts, essential oils etc.

  Googled around, but didn’t find anything.
