Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is a polymer used in general cosmetic applications due to its multifunctional property. Made from repeated acrylic acid subunits and hydrophobic components, in contrast to simple hydrophilic-attracting water Carbomer, the unique structure of this polymer allows it to function well as a thickener in cosmetic preparations to provide them with a gel-like consistency and stable texture.
The amphiphilic nature of the molecule has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts, while it is especially embedded in colloidal solution formulation processes associated with emulsion stabilization. It functions well in the double affinity-one toward hydrophilic and the other toward hydrophobic fractions-to evenly mix and hold the dispersion of oil and water phases in a formula for very long-lasting stability and performance of the product.
Besides, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is highly compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including cleansing agents. Therefore, it is suitable for formula gel cleansers and any other product where stability of texture and consistency is an important factor.
This means that Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer functions both as a thickener and as an emulsion stabilizer. Due to its structure, this polymer improves texture and stability in various cosmetic formulations, especially in formulations where both water and oil phases exist.
