Polyacrylate crosspolymer-6 is a synthetic powder ingredient that stabilizes and thickens water-based emulsions. It works particularly well to create gel textures that have a non-sticky finish and elegant slip when applied to skin.It’s also favorable for use in formulas geared toward compromised skin since it works well with other ingredients to restore skin’s barrier and prevent water loss.
Chemists may also use this ingredient to help stabilize several bio-active ingredients in a single formula. Its gentleness makes it popular in eye area products as a film-forming agent.
Polyacrylate crosspolymer-6 is considered safe as used in cosmetics. Typical usage ranges from 0.15–5%, depending on desired outcome.
