What it is — Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate (INCI of the same name) is a synthetic polymer thickener and stabilizer.

What it does — It is commonly used to build viscosity, stabilize emulsions and give gels and lotions a smooth, cushioned texture.

Typical use — It appears in gels, serums, lotions and creams, where it structures the texture.

Who it suits / good to know — Non-active and generally inert on skin; it shapes how a product feels and dispenses rather than delivering a skincare effect.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert texture agent. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — inert texture agent.
