Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
INCI: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer is a synthetic polymer related to carbomer that contains both water-loving (hydrophilic) and oil-loving (hydrophobic) monomers. This dual nature allows it to function as both a thickening agent and an emulsion stabiliser. It is particularly effective in gel-type formulas that contain an oil phase, and is compatible with most cleansing agents.
