Description

Sodium Acrylates Copolymer is a synthetic polymer used in cosmetic products primarily as a thickener, emulsion stabilizer, and texturizing agent. Thanks to its ability to retain water and form a gel-like texture, it is widely used in creams, gels, serums, lotions, and sunscreens. The component makes the texture of the product smoother, more uniform, and pleasant to the touch, and also helps evenly distribute active ingredients on the skin. It also increases the stability of the formula, reduces the risk of product separation, and improves sensory properties (leaves no stickiness or greasiness after application).
