Polyacrylate

Polyacrylate refers to a group of synthetic polymers derived from acrylic acid. In cosmetics, they are primarily used as thickeners, emulsifiers, and film-forming agents. These ingredients help to create stable product textures, prevent separation of ingredients, and can provide a smooth feel or a temporary film on the skin.
