About
A crosslinked polyacrylate polymer that acts as a thickening and film-forming agent, this ingredient is widely used in cosmetic formulations and is considered safe with no EU restrictions.
Sodium Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-1 is a partially neutralized crosslinked polyacrylate polymer dispersed in aqueous phase, used as a viscosity controller and film former in skincare and color cosmetic products. In the EU, high分子量 polyacrylates are permitted without restriction as they do not penetrate intact skin; the SCCS has evaluated similar polyacrylate polymers and found no safety concerns at typical cosmetic concentrations. This polymer functions as an emollient and skin conditioning agent while providing stable emulsion suspension.
