Science
Mechanism of Action
As a copolymer, POLYACRYLATE-34 operates by forming a subtle polymeric film on surfaces, which, in skincare, can contribute to the tactile feel of a product and potentially offer a lightweight protective layer. Its hydrophilic nature allows it to absorb water, leading to increased viscosity in formulations, thereby functioning as a rheology modifier. Furthermore, it stabilizes emulsions, preventing phase separation and ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that Polyacrylate-34, as part of a larger group of 126 Acrylates Copolymers, is safe for use in cosmetics under current practices and concentrations, provided formulations are non-irritating. No specific maximum concentration for Polyacrylate-34 itself was identified. No specific SCCS opinion or FDA cosmetic status has been found for this ingredient.
