Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2 is a synthetic crosslinked acrylate polymer. INCI: Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2. In a formula it works as a thickener, stabilizer, and water absorbent: it raises viscosity, holds water, gives gels and creams a smooth springy texture, and helps stabilize the emulsion. It is a functional rheology component, not a skincare active. Pregnancy safety. The polymer does not penetrate skin, is systemically negligible, and there is no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
