Mucilago carbomeri is a semi-solid dermatological gel based on a hydrophilic, aqueous matrix in which carbomer acts as a gelling agent. After neutralization, a three-dimensional network forms that fixes water and creates the typical gel structure.
Properties
The gel consists of a continuous aqueous phase and is non-greasy and slightly cooling upon application. Its viscosity is pH-dependent: it increases with the addition of a base (neutralization) and decreases with the addition of an acid.
Preparation typically occurs under vacuum, making the gel virtually free of air bubbles and giving it a homogeneous structure.
Rapid release of active ingredients due to its aqueous base
Cooling effect due to water evaporation
Non-occlusive, allows the skin to breathe
Good spreadability
Therapeutic application
Mucilago carbomeri is suitable for acute and inflammatory skin conditions, applications where cooling is desired, hairy skin areas, and situations where a light, non-greasy base is preferred.
