Polyacrylamide
A synthetic polymer that thickens formulas, stabilizes emulsions, and forms a smooth film.
What it does
Polyacrylamide is a synthetic polymer used as a thickener, emulsion stabilizer, and film former. It builds body in a formula, helps keep oil and water mixed, and lays down a thin film that smooths the surface feel. It is a texture-and-film ingredient rather than an active.
