AMMONIUM ACRYLOYL DIMETHYLTAURATE/CARBOXYETHYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER

Description

Ammonium Acryloyl Dimethyltaurate/Carboxyethyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is a versatile synthetic polymer used in skincare formulations. This ingredient functions as a rheology modifier and emulsion stabilizer, enhancing the texture and stability of various cosmetic products. Its unique chemical structure allows it to form a three-dimensional network in aqueous solutions, providing excellent thickening and suspending properties.

The crosspolymer is particularly effective in creating lightweight, non-greasy textures in skincare products such as serums, gels, and lotions. It offers superior compatibility with a wide range of active ingredients and can be used in formulations with varying pH levels. This ingredient helps to improve the spreadability of products and contributes to a smooth, silky feel upon application.

Ammonium Acryloyl Dimethyltaurate/Carboxyethyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is also known for its ability to enhance the stability of emulsions, preventing separation of oil and water phases in cosmetic formulations. This property makes it valuable in creating long-lasting, shelf-stable products. Additionally, the polymer can help to control the release of active ingredients, potentially improving their efficacy and skin penetration.
