The stabilizer of toothpaste is usually a polymer, such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, etc. Their role is to maintain uniformity of the toothpaste, prevent component stratification, precipitation and volatilization.

1. What is the stabilizer of toothpaste?

Under normal circumstances, stabilizer of toothpaste is a polymer, such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and so on. These stabilizers have high viscosity and adhesion which can effectively prevent the stratification, precipitation and volatilization of toothpaste components, thus maintaining the quality and stability of toothpaste.

2. Types and functions ofpaste stabilizers

In addition to HPMC, the common stabilizers of toothpaste also include sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and so on. The function of these stabilizers is to increase the viscosity of toothpaste, so that it can be shaped, stored and used without easy loss. In addition, the stabilizer can also a uniform protective film on the toothbrush, so that the toothpaste can be better adsorbed on the toothbrush and improve the cleaning effect。

Function: Thickening: Give toothpaste a moderate consistency, avoid too thin or clumps.

Suspend: helps to evenly distribute the abrasive (such as silica) and improve the cleaning effect.

Moisturizing: Locks in moisture and prevents toothpaste from drying out.
