AMMONIUM POLYACRYLATE

Safety grade: A

This is a synthetic polymer—a chain-like molecule made in the lab—that acts like a flexible glue. It helps cosmetic products hold together better and creates a thin, protective layer on skin or hair.

This ingredient helps cosmetic products form a smooth film on the skin or hair, keeps formulations stable and from separating, and improves how the product spreads and feels.
