Description
Sodium polyacrylate, a thickener
Sodium polyacrylate is a white powder with brittle crystals and the INCI Sodium Polyacrylate. It is a synthetic polymer that swells in water to thicken and gel, stabilizes emulsions and adjusts viscosity, and it leaves a soft, moisturized feel. Buy it as a cosmetic grade raw material from a 10 g trial pack for $9.99, with bulk packs up to 1 kg; wholesale volumes are quoted on request.
Where it is used
Gels, creams, lotions, serums and hair styling products where it thickens, stabilizes and helps hold style.
Texture pairings
Combine it with hyaluronic acid liquid in a moisture gel, or use it to stabilize an emulsion with squalane oil. More texture ingredients are in our cosmetic actives catalog.
Processing
Sprinkle it into water with strong stirring and let it swell. Electrolytes reduce the thickness, so add salts carefully. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
