What it is

Sodium acrylate/acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer is a synthetic polymer used as a thickener and stabiliser.

What it does

It builds smooth gel and cream textures, helps keep emulsions stable and gives products a pleasant, non-tacky feel.

Typical use

Found in gels, lotions, serums and creams, usually at low levels as a texture agent.

Safety

Graded low risk as an inert, non-irritating thickening polymer. It contributes texture rather than any active effect and is generally well tolerated. Patch-test if your skin is highly reactive. This is general information, not medical advice.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk - thickener/film-forming polymer, inert and non-irritating.
