What It Does
Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer is a synthetic anionic polymer that creates a unique three-dimensional network structure in aqueous systems, providing exceptional stability across a wide pH range (3-12) and high electrolyte tolerance. This copolymer is particularly valued for its ability to create elegant, non-tacky textures in serums and light emulsions while maintaining stability with challenging ingredients like high levels of salts, acids, and UV filters. Formulators choose it for its versatility in creating both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, its cold-process compatibility, and its ability to suspend particles without creating a heavy or sticky skin feel.
