Sodium Acrylates Copolymer
Sodium Acrylates Copolymer
A pre-neutralized acrylic polymer used to thicken water-based formulas and stabilize emulsions.
What it does
Sodium Acrylates Copolymer is the sodium-salt form of an acrylic polymer, so it thickens water quickly without a separate neutralizing step. It builds a smooth gel, suspends particles, and helps keep oil and water mixed. It is a texture-and-stability ingredient rather than a skin active.
