why we use hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer

The Basics

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer is a high-performance polymer that enhances the viscosity, stability, and texture of skincare formulations. It functions as a rheology modifier, creating a smooth, luxurious feel while ensuring even product distribution. As a stabiliser, it prevents emulsion separation and extends formulation longevity.

Unlike traditional thickeners, this copolymer forms a lightweight, non-tacky gel network that improves hydration without a heavy or greasy feel. It helps maintain moisture balance and enhances spreadability, making it ideal for hydrating skincare products. Additionally, its compatibility with a wide range of active ingredients and pH levels ensures versatility in both water-based and oil-in-water emulsions.
