acrylates c10 30 alkylacrylate crosspolymer
Description
Acrylates C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is a synthetic polymer widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. This versatile ingredient functions primarily as a thickening agent, emulsion stabilizer, and texture enhancer. Its unique molecular structure allows it to form a three-dimensional network within products, providing excellent viscosity control and suspension capabilities.
In skincare formulations, this polymer helps create smooth, stable emulsions and gels, preventing separation of oil and water phases. It contributes to a pleasant sensory experience by imparting a silky, non-greasy feel to products. The crosspolymer is particularly effective in clear gel formulations, where it maintains clarity while providing structure.
Acrylates C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including electrolytes and active compounds. It performs well across various pH levels, making it suitable for diverse product types. The ingredient is considered safe for use in cosmetics, with minimal risk of skin irritation or sensitization.
Formulators value this polymer for its ability to create consistent textures and improve product stability, thereby extending shelf life and maintaining efficacy of active ingredients.
