AMMONIUM POLYACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE
Ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate is a synthetic polymer that is used as a thickener and a stabilizer in cosmetics and personal care products. It is readily swellable in cold water without the need for neutralization. It enables emulsifier-free formulations with high oil loads and is stable over a wide pH range. It works efficiently in alcohol-based solutions (like anti-bacterial formulas and hand sanitizers).

What is AMMONIUM POLYACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE used for?

It thickens up products and stabilizes the oil-in-water emulsions by controlling their viscosity. It is used in various industrial and cosmetic applications, including hair care, makeup, and skin care products.
  • Skin care: It is effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and age spots while also providing a protective barrier against environmental damage. It provides moisture and a smooth, and light feel. It can be used in the range of 0.015-2.3%

Origin

Ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate is a polymer made by combining two molecules of ammonium acrylate and one molecule of methyl taurine.
