Overview

Ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer is a polymeric ingredient, which means it consists of a large molecular structure comprised of many repeating subunits. This polymer structure functions as a network within water-based systems, creating lightweight and refreshing gel textures.

Ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP copolymer also works as a viscosity controlling agents in the water phase of oil-in-water emulsions, which can include skincare products such as lotions, creams, toners, and serums.

In addition, this ingredient is known for its ability to withstand high shear stress, and this is often needed for producing stable emulsions.
