Overview
Sodium acrylates copolymer is an anionic ingredient, which simply means the molecule has a negative charge. This negative character helps make the ingredient more effective at its functions, which include binding other ingredients together, forming films, opacifying, and controlling viscosity.
The polymeric nature of this ingredient indicates that the molecule is a large unit comprised of many repeating smaller units. The large size of the molecule helps it to form films on the skin, which can help prevent the product from rinsing away too easily by water or sweat.
In addition, the large size of the molecule can thicken oils and water, thereby controlling the viscosity.
