Can I use Acrylates/Methoxy PEG-15 Methacrylate Copolymer with Carbomer?
Works well together
Acrylates/Methoxy PEG-15 Methacrylate Copolymer and Carbomer are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
- ✓PEG-functionalized acrylate copolymer with amphiphilic character — the acrylate backbone provides structural rigidity while the methoxy PEG-15 side chains confer hydrophilic character and emulsion-stabilizing ability
- ✓Used in cleansing balm formulations as an associative thickener/rheology modifier that maintains emulsion stability while contributing to the product's smooth, non-greasy skin feel
- ✓Improves the wash-off efficiency of cleansing balms by aiding in the water-triggered phase inversion emulsification process
