Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-11
What this ingredient generally does
Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-11 is a large web-like polymer that adjusts the product's thickness and keeps the mixture stable. This means it gives the formula body, helps hold the oil and water parts from separating, and leaves a smooth skin feel.
