Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 creates crystal-clear, elegant gels with smooth slip and cushion. Boosts viscosity, yield value, and suspension for beads/mica/exfoliants. Helps reduce tack vs some gums, improves sensory “silky gel” feel, and supports stable, non-stringy textures in modern skincare and hair gels.
Great for hyaluronic acid serums, clear facial gels, gel-creams, primer-like “blur” textures, aloe gels, aftershave gels, acne gels (cosmetic use), body gels, scalp serums, styling gels, micellar/cleansing gels, hand sanitizing-style gels (cosmetic), and makeup mixing gels.
Typical use: 0.1–1.0% (start 0.2–0.5% for serums; 0.6–1.0% for firmer gels). Sprinkle into water phase with good mixing to avoid clumps; allow full hydration. Many systems thicken at neutral pH—adjust to ~pH 5.5–7 as needed. Add humectants, actives, then preservative/fragrance last.
Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 works well with common humectants (glycerin, propylene glycol, butylene glycol), niacinamide, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, and many botanical extracts. Often tolerant of electrolytes/salts better than carbomer, and can handle some alcohol levels. Always check final pH, ionic load, and preservative compatibility with your full formula.
Formulation Ideas : “Glass Skin” gel serum: 0.3% + HA + niacinamide for a clear, bouncy finish. Scalp serum gel: 0.4–0.6% with caffeine/panthenol for non-drip application. Bead-suspending body gel: 0.7–0.9% for stable suspension. Pro tip: hydrate fully, fine-tune pH, then adjust viscosity with small increments.
