AMMONIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYLTAURATE CROSSPOLYMER

Description

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Crosspolymer is a versatile synthetic polymer widely used in cosmetic and skincare formulations. This high-performance ingredient functions primarily as a thickening agent, emulsion stabilizer, and texture enhancer. Its unique chemical structure allows it to form stable gels and emulsions across a wide pH range, making it suitable for various product types.

The polymer's crosslinked nature provides excellent stability and suspension capabilities, allowing it to effectively hold active ingredients in place within formulations. It imparts a smooth, non-tacky feel to products, enhancing their sensory properties and user experience. Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Crosspolymer is particularly valued for its ability to create lightweight, fluid textures that spread easily on the skin.

This ingredient is compatible with many cosmetic ingredients, including electrolytes and surfactants. It performs well in cold-process manufacturing, reducing energy consumption during production. The polymer is resistant to microbial growth, contributing to product preservation. Its low irritation potential makes it suitable for use in sensitive skin formulations. When incorporated into skincare products, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Crosspolymer helps improve product consistency, stability, and overall efficacy.
