About Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer is a synthetic, water-soluble polymer formed by copolymerizing ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate and vinylpyrrolidone. It functions primarily as a thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent in skincare and cosmetic formulations, enhancing viscosity and creating smooth, gel-like textures in creams, lotions, gels, and serums. This copolymer improves product spreadability and sensory feel, delivering a non-tacky, velvety finish while helping to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions—even without additional emulsifiers. It forms a thin, breathable film on the skin that locks in moisture, reduces transepidermal water loss, and protects against environmental aggressors. Highly compatible with a wide range of ingredients, it is suitable for sensitive skin and works over a broad pH range, making it ideal for modern, lightweight, and stable formulations targeting all skin types.
