Acrylate Copolymer is a hydrophobic high molecular weight carboxylated acrylic copolymer. Because acrylate copolymer is anionic, compatibility must be evaluated when formulating with cationic ingredients. Benefits include excellent film forming, and added water-resistance to creams, sunscreen and mascara. Provides water-proof protection and thickening properties depending on the formula. Due to inherent moisture resistance it can be used in waterproof sunscreens and a variety of protective creams and lotions. view less

GelMaker® PH is a ready-to-use anionic polymer in powder form for creating clear aqueous gels without the need for pH neutralization. The polymer works as a thickener and stabilizer in emulsions and surfactant systems and offers excellent particle suspension power. Produces clear aqueous gels providing an elegant and soft, silicone-like skin feel. Can be used also to thicken and/or stabilize emulsions (creams & lotions) in combination with other thickeners including gums, pectins, or cellulose derivatives. Acts wells as oil thickener (even at low concentrations) as it works synergistically with fatty alcohols (e.g. cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol etc). Increases thickness and foam density when used with anionic or non-ionic surfactant. Has extreme resistance to electrolytes up to 10% salts. Compatible with ethanol and other solvents, surfactants, AHAs, salicylic acid, zinc pyrithione, sunscreens, and pigments. view less
