Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer (trade name Sepinov EMT 10, manufactured by SEPPIC) is a synthetic acrylate copolymer that functions as a thickening, gelling, and emulsion-stabilising agent. It creates non-sticky, supple gel textures and is particularly valued for its ability to work across a very wide pH range (3-12), making it suitable for low-pH exfoliant formulations as well as neutral products.

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It is one of the most commonly used thickeners and emulsion stabilisers in cosmetic formulations, creating gel-like textures and preventing ingredient separation. It is also approved as a food additive (E415) and is Ecocert-approved for natural cosmetics.
