Tea-carbomer (inci)

"TEA" is the acronym for triethanolamine, a quaternary ammonium compound. Triethanolamine reacts easily with fatty acids to form triethanolamine soaps and is used as a basic component in soaps and other cosmetic products. Cabomer, also called polyacrylic acid, is a synthetically produced chemical compound and a high-molecular polymer of acrylic acid. The substance occurs as a white, mostly odorless powder.
TEA-carbomer is a substance used in cosmetic formulations where it acts as a gelling agent (enables the production of a gel, a gelatinous, semi-solid product) and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products).
