Science

Mechanism of Action

On the skin, POLYACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER-11 creates a delicate protective film, which actively contributes to improved water retention and overall hydration, particularly beneficial for dry complexions. It adeptly neutralizes excess greasiness, imparting a desirable matte finish without any sticky or heavy residue, thus acting as an effective skin conditioning agent.

Stability

This polymer is notably versatile, being cold processable, pre-neutralized, and ready-to-use in formulations. It disperses efficiently in both oil and water phases at any formulation step, demonstrating robust particle stabilization, high compatibility with organic solvents, and excellent salt tolerance.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed similar 'acrylates copolymers' and 'crosslinked alkyl acrylates' safe for cosmetic use, provided they are formulated to prevent irritation and are not polymerized in benzene. While POLYACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER-11 is generally considered safe, there is no universally specified maximum concentration; its safety is affirmed based on current industry practices for related crosslinked acrylates.
