Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate is an anionic ingredient that is mainly used to stabilize emulsions and control viscosity in skincare products.

This ingredient swells easily, even in cold water, to create gels and to strengthen the stability of emulsions. This gelling effect also helps in controlling viscosity, as the more ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate that is added to the water phase, the thicker the end product will be.

Ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate also has a distinct feel when applied to the skin, mostly due to the gelling capabilities. The products containing this ingredient frequently feature lightweight and refreshing aesthetics upon application to the skin.
