  I want to make a sugar scrub using carbomer but when I put sugar in it dissolve. I know carbomer has water in it but I’ve seen other product has water in it as well. Can anyone help thanks

  1. You would need to post the entire Formula if you would like people to weigh-in fully.

  2. A Sugar scrub should be in an oil or silicone base. It will not work in an aqueous base.

  also, many carbomers will ‘hydrate’ in polar protic solvents other than water, e.g. glycerine or propylene glycol; you may need to heat them to incorporate them fully
