Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer
A synthetic gelling and stabilizing polymer that thickens water-based formulas and keeps oils and pigments evenly suspended.
What it does
This copolymer is a thickener and emulsion stabilizer. It swells in water to build a smooth, slightly gel-like body, which holds the rest of a formula together — keeping oil droplets, pigments, and actives evenly dispersed so the product stays uniform. It also gives a soft, non-tacky skin feel. It is a structural ingredient that shapes texture and stability, not an active on the skin.
