Acrylates/Methoxy PEG-15 Methacrylate Copolymer
Acrylates/Methoxy PEG-15 Methacrylate Copolymer is an amphiphilic copolymer of acrylic acid monomers and methoxy-terminated polyethylene glycol methacrylate. The hydrophilic PEG-15 side chains and hydrophobic acrylic backbone give it associative thickening and emulsion-stabilizing properties. Used in cleansing balm formulations (notably Banila Co's Clean It Zero) as a rheology modifier that aids the oil-to-emulsion phase transition during rinsing.

Benefits
- ✓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
