Science & Benefits

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer is a high-performance synthetic polymer used to create 'water-burst' gel textures. It is prized for its ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions without the need for heavy waxes or traditional, pore-clogging emulsifiers. When applied, the polymer breaks upon contact with the skin's natural salts, releasing its bound water for an immediate, cooling hydration effect. It leaves a velvety, matte finish that is highly desirable for oily and congested skin. It is completely non-comedogenic and non-irritating, providing the structural 'backbone' for lightweight serums and oil-free moisturizers that hydrate the skin while allowing the pores to remain unobstructed.
