Acrylamide is created when glucose reacts with ammonia in the presence of heat. This process also yields the compounds urea and ammonium. Carbomer is also used as a thickener in toothpaste, as well as in many cosmetic products such as shampoo and conditioner. Carbomer is a chemical compound used to produce a gel in order to create a variety of cosmetic and personal care products. It is an ingredient used in many products including foundations, concealers, mascaras, and toothpaste.
