Sodium acrylate/sodium acryloildimethyl taurate copolymer

Ingredient type: EMULSIFIER/TEXTURE

✨ Role: This copolymer is used in cosmetic products to thicken and stabilize formulations. It improves the texture of products by giving them a pleasant consistency, while helping to maintain the uniformity of ingredients within the formula.

Ingredient type: Emulsifier

Sodium acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer is classified as an emulsifier due to its ability to stabilize mixtures of hydrophilic (water-soluble) and lipophilic (oil-soluble) ingredients in skin care formulations. It acts as a thickening and structuring agent, allowing gels to be formed or the viscosity of creams and lotions to be adjusted. In addition, it helps maintain product consistency and stability, preventing the separation of oil and water phases.

Safety: This ingredient is considered safe for most users.

✨ Vegan: Yes, this ingredient is synthetic and is compatible with vegan formulations.

✨ Note: Well tolerated by most skin types, this copolymer has low irritant potential. It is often preferred for its ability to form gels and for its stability under varying pH and temperature conditions.

Found in: Creams, lotions, gels, and sunscreen products, as well as certain types of makeup for their thickening and stabilizing properties.
