Ingredient type: Emulsifier

Acid Acrylic/Acrylamidomethyl Propane Sulfonic Acid Copolymer is classified as an emulsifier due to its ability to stabilize and thicken formulations containing both water and oils. Copolymers interact with various substances in formulations to form a stable gel or emulsion, helping to homogenize water- and fat-soluble ingredients. These properties help improve the texture of skin care products, providing a pleasant consistency and facilitating application to the skin. In addition, by stabilizing emulsions, this copolymer helps improve the durability and efficacy of the active ingredients contained in the formulation.
