Sodium Acrylates Copolymer

Sodium Acrylates Copolymer is a synthetic polymer used in cosmetics as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and film former. It helps to create stable product textures, prevent separation of oil and water phases, and can leave a light film on the skin. This ingredient contributes to the overall feel and stability of a formulation.
