Acrylates Crosslinked Polymer-Cosmetic Thickener

Acrylates Crosslinked Polymer-Cosmetic Thickener

• Acrylates Crosslinked Polymer is a new type of high-efficiency crosslinked rheology control polymer for high-end cosmetics. Different from linear ordinary acrylate thickeners with single performance and poor salt tolerance, this product adopts three-dimensional network crosslinked molecular structure, which achieves revolutionary breakthroughs in thickening efficiency, suspension stability and electrolyte resistance.

• It can quickly hydrate and thicken at room temperature without high-speed shearing or heating, saving production energy consumption and simplifying process operation. The formed gel is highly transparent, delicate and smooth with excellent shear thinning property, making the product easy to spread and use.

• It can effectively lock and suspend various functional particles and pigment powders, avoid formula delamination and precipitation, and maintain stable system viscosity for a long time. It is the core preferred raw material for preparing high-transparency, high-stability and high-grade water-based cosmetic products.

Key Benefits

• Ultra-High Thickening Efficiency, Cost-Effective: Unique crosslinked network structure provides ultra-strong viscosity building capacity, with extremely low dosage to quickly increase system viscosity. Compared with traditional thickeners, it has lower addition amount, better thickening effect and higher formula cost performance.

• Excellent Salt & Electrolyte Resistance, Stable Viscosity: It perfectly solves the industry pain point that ordinary thickeners are easy to lose viscosity and become thin after encountering salt and electrolytes. It maintains stable viscosity and complete gel structure in electrolyte-containing formulas, with no system collapse or texture attenuation.

• Powerful Suspending & Anti-Delamination Performance: The three-dimensional crosslinked network can firmly capture and suspend insoluble particles, plant powder microcapsules and color pigments, effectively prevent particle precipitation and formula delamination, and greatly improve product long-term storage stability.

• High Transparency Gel, Superior Texture: The hydrated gel has ultra-high clarity, pure and clear texture without fog or turbidity. It does not affect the light transmittance and appearance of transparent products, perfectly matching the high-grade and clean visual effect of gel skincare and water-based makeup.

• Obvious Shear Thinning, Easy Processing & Good Skin Feel: It has excellent shear thinning characteristics, high viscosity at rest and low viscosity during shearing. The product is thick and stable when standing, smooth and easy to spread when used, with no sticky residue, bringing refreshing and delicate skin feel. Meanwhile, it is convenient for industrial pumping and filling, improving production efficiency.

• Wide Compatibility & High Safety: Compatible with all water-based cosmetic systems and various surfactants, active ingredients and electrolytes. Adopts safe polymerization process, no harmful residues, low irritation and high safety, suitable for sensitive skin formulas and high-end clean beauty products.

Applications

• Transparent Gel Skincare Products: Core thickening and stabilizing raw materials for hydrating gel, soothing gel, exfoliating gel, massage gel and transparent facial mask liquid. It creates high-transparency delicate gel texture, stabilizes product system, and improves skin fitting comfort.

• Suspended Functional Essence & Lotion: Special rheology modifier for suspended bead essence, particle-containing lotion and plant extract skincare. It stably suspends functional particles and microcapsules, prevents precipitation and delamination, and maintains uniform product texture and appearance.

• Water-Based Sanitary Gel Products: Ideal thickener and stabilizer for antibacterial hand gel, disinfection gel and skincare sanitizing gel. It adapts to alcohol and electrolyte-containing systems, stable viscosity, no thinning, and ensures product texture and efficacy stability.

• High-Stability Water-Based Color Makeup: Applied in water-based eyeliner, transparent setting gel, makeup primer gel and suspended color makeup. It thickens and stabilizes color system, prevents pigment precipitation, and ensures uniform and long-lasting makeup color.

• Hydrosol & Toner Series: Used for high-viscosity moisturizing toner, floral hydrosol and nourishing skin lotion. It moderately thickens thin water-phase formulas, improves product ductility and use feel, and avoids overly watery texture.

• Body & Hair Care Gel: Suitable for body moisturizing gel, hair styling gel and scalp care gel. It stabilizes gel texture, improves product durability, and brings refreshing and non-sticky use experience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q1: What is the MOQ of Acrylates Crosslinked Polymer? 

A1: The standard MOQ is 25KG, support sample orders for formula testing and trial production, and support customized technical specifications for mass production.

• Q2: What is the core advantage compared with ordinary acrylate thickeners? 

A2: Ordinary linear acrylate thickeners have poor salt tolerance, easy viscosity loss and weak suspension capacity. This crosslinked polymer adopts 3D network structure, with ultra-high thickening efficiency, excellent anti-electrolyte stability and strong particle suspension ability. It can maintain stable system viscosity in salt-containing and active-rich formulas, which is irreplaceable for ordinary thickeners.

• Q3: What is the recommended dosage in cosmetic formulas? 

A3: Transparent gel skincare: 0.2%–0.8%; Suspended essence/lotion: 0.3%–1.0%; Sanitizing gel products: 0.15%–0.6%; Water-based color makeup: 0.2%–0.7%; Toner & hydrosol thickening: 0.1%–0.5%, adjustable according to target viscosity and suspension requirements.

• Q4: Does it need high-speed shearing and heating during use? 

A4: No special high-speed shearing or heating required. It can be slowly dispersed and hydrated at room temperature, with low foaming and fast thickening. After full hydration and neutralization, high-transparency stable gel can be formed, which simplifies production process and reduces energy consumption.

• Q5: What formula systems is this product suitable for? 

A5: It is widely applicable to all water-based cosmetic systems, especially suitable for electrolyte-containing, salt-containing and particle-containing formulas. Perfect for transparent gel, suspended functional skincare and water-based sanitary gel products, with extremely high system compatibility.

• Q6: What are the formula usage notes? 

A6: It is recommended to disperse slowly in water phase first to avoid agglomeration; neutralize with weak base (triethanolamine etc.) after full hydration for optimal viscosity and transparency; the optimal stable pH range is 5.0–8.5; avoid long-term strong acid environment to prevent structure damage.

• Q7: Can it provide stable mass supply and technical support? 

A7: Strictly control core indicators such as viscosity, transmittance, salt tolerance and suspension stability to ensure consistent batch performance. Support long-term bulk order supply and provide one-stop professional services including formula debugging, dosage optimization and after-sales technical guidance.
