Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6
A gelling polymer for water-based formulas — builds body with a light, fresh, powdery, non-tacky feel.
What it does
A synthetic polymer that thickens water-based products into a gel. It adds body while leaving a light, fresh, powdery, non-tacky feel, and it helps keep the product stable.
The EU’s ingredient database lists it as a thickener (controls how thick the product is) and a stabilizer (helps oil and water stay mixed).European Commission, CosIng (© European Union, CC BY 4.0) · uses put in plain words by Drop ↗
