Sodium Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer
A crosslinked acrylic polymer used as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer, distinct from other acrylate crosspolymers already in the KB by its beheneth-25 methacrylate comonomer.
Benefits
- ✓Associative polymer thickener that stabilizes emulsions and builds viscosity across a wide pH range
- ✓Provides a smooth, non-tacky sensory feel

What it does
A crosslinked acrylic polymer used as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer, distinct from other acrylate crosspolymers already in the KB by its beheneth-25 methacrylate comonomer. As an humectant ingredient, it is particularly valued for associative polymer thickener that stabilizes emulsions and builds viscosity across a wide ph range and provides a smooth, non-tacky sensory 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.
