What it does
Aminomethyl Propanol (AMP) is an amino alcohol used to neutralize carbomer and acrylate polymers and adjust formulation pH; distinct from Aminomethyl Propanediol already in the KB. As an other ingredient, it is particularly valued for neutralizes acidic polymers (e.g. carbomer, acrylates) to form gels and buffers formulation ph.
