Glyceryl Polyacrylate is a water-soluble, rheology modifier that makes clear gels. It is derived from glycerin, which is excellent at providing moisture. It can be used to add a "wet" (moisturizing) feeling to products. It can increase the viscosity of a formula without the need for neutralization, as long as the pH is between 5 and 11.
Film-forming agent: Creates a thin coating on the skin that helps to prevent epidermal water loss and keep the skin hydrated. Moisturizing: Helps to keep the skin hydrated by preventing water loss. Emollient: Softens and smooths the skin. Thickening agent: Helps to thicken and stabilize emulsions and gels. Suspending agent: Helps to keep solids suspended in a liquid. Heat tolerant: Can be added to formulas without heating. Cold-process compatible: Can be used to make cold-process serums, gels, and cream gels.
