Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

This long-named, polymer molecule (big molecule from repeated subunits) is a helper ingredient that's good at emulsifying and stabilizing oils into water-based formulas.It also acts as a thickening and gelling agentthat creates nice, non-sticky and supple textures. It works over a very wide pH range (3-12) and can be used to thicken up low-ph formulas, such as exfoliants. Its recommended used range is 0.3-3%.
