What it does
A crosslinked polyacrylate polymer used to thicken and stabilize serums and emulsions, imparting a light gel texture; differs from Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 already in the KB by its specific polymer composition. As an humectant ingredient, it is particularly valued for creates elegant, lightweight gel textures, stabilizes emulsions, and provides a smooth, non-tacky skin feel.
Skin type guide
Works across all skin types, but is especially beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Oily skin types also benefit — proper hydration helps regulate sebum production.
How to use it
Apply to slightly damp skin to maximise moisture retention — humectants work by drawing water to the skin, so they need a water source to pull from. Use early in your routine, before heavier creams or oils.
