Acrylates Copolymer

Acrylates Copolymer is a synthetic polymer formed by the copolymerization of two or more acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or their ester monomers, typically supplied as an aqueous dispersion or emulsion. It is widely used in cosmetic formulations for its ability to form flexible, water-resistant films on skin and hair, and to build viscosity in aqueous systems when neutralized to an appropriate pH. Formulators favor it for its versatility across leave-on and rinse-off products, its compatibility with a broad range of actives, and its ability to impart a smooth, non-tacky skin feel while providing structural integrity to emulsions and gels.
