Gelling agent/polymer

HA is a polymer
. High molecular weight HA does gel nicely if used at sufficient levels.Not knowing what formulation you have makes it impossible to estimate whether or not HA might be enough for the task. -
Pharma said:HA is a polymer .

What if it’s used to gel a niacinamide serum? Or say, a stable vitamin C ester?

Should work though depends a bit on the type of vitamin C derivative you intend on using.
