Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer is a synthetic acrylic-based polymer used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. It helps create smooth gel and cream textures and improves the stability of oil-in-water emulsions.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Mild skin irritation | Rare | Occasional transient redness or stinging, usually in sensitive or compromised skin. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Isolated sensitization reports; generally considered low allergenic potential. |
Residual acrylamide monomer concern | Very rare | Trace monomer is restricted by safety limits; finished polymer is regarded as safe at typical use levels. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
