- Categories: Absorbent, Thickeners/Emulsifiers, Texture Enhancer
A mixture of a natural starch combined with a synthetic acrylate polymer. As with most starches, it works in cosmetics as a texture enhancer, thickening agent, stabilizer, and absorbent, the latter benefit occurring when higher amounts are used.
Sodium polyacrylate starch is considered safe as used in cosmetics; it size does not allow penetration past skin’s surface.
