Aminomethyl Propanol
A pH adjuster used in tiny amounts to neutralize acidic thickeners so they gel.
What it does
Aminomethyl propanol is a base used in small amounts to raise a formula's pH. Its main job is to neutralize acidic gelling polymers such as carbomer so they swell into a clear gel, and to hold pH at a target. It is a pH-adjusting ingredient rather than a skin active.
