What is "Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6" and what is its purpose?

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 is a synthetic polymer compatible with:

• Ethanol along with other solvents;

• The AHA;

• The surfactants;

• Zinc Pyrithione;

• Pigments and sunscreens.

It is used to formulate treatments that provide a sensation of softness to the skin. It can be combined with fatty alcohols.

Respectful to the skin, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 serves several functions:

• It protects the skin's surface;

• It has formula stability;

• It thickens the consistency of the skincare product.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 is an agent:

• Emulsion stabiliser: it enhances the shelf life of the emulsion;

• Regulation control: it decreases or increases the regulation of skincare.

Combined with other thickeners such as pectins, gums, or cellulose derivatives, this ingredient is used to stabilise and thicken emulsions (lotions and creams). Working in synergy with fatty alcohols (cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, etc.), Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 acts as an oil thickener. When used with a non-ionic or anionic agent, it increases the density and thickness of the foam.

Furthermore, it acts as a gelling agent. It is used to produce transparent aqueous gels with a soft touch. It works by gelling the water in a skincare product to suspend oil droplets. Unlike natural polymers such as xanthan gum, it does not produce a stringy or sticky effect. In addition, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 has the ability to stabilise many active ingredients, unlike other thickening agents. Its ability to suspend particles allows it to optimise the distribution of these active ingredients.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 retains moisture by providing a supple and smooth texture and forming a layer on the skin's surface.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 is found in:

• Facial hydrating serums;

• Adult sun creams;

• Skincare for the body and face;

• Facial creams;

• Deodorants;

• The lotions;

• Creams against roundabouts.

Our niacinamide serum contains Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6. This treatment is designed to reduce redness and blemishes. It also helps to refine and smooth the skin's texture. It is suitable for all skin types.

Apply 3 to 4 drops to your clean, dry face every morning and evening. Then massage in circular motions. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use of the product. Also, avoid contact with the eyes.
