Sodium Polyacrylate
I’m a super water-absorbing ingredient that helps give products a smooth, gel texture.
Technical Term
Sodium Polyacrylate
Ingredient Class
Supportive ingredient
I’m a supporter: I help make sure formulas feel and work just right.
I help give products a smooth, gel texture.
How I'm made
I’m a trusty synthetic ingredient: I’m made in a lab to be the best at what I do while staying safe for your skin.
How I work
Not to brag, but I’m pretty powerful: I can absorb as much as 100 to 1000 times my weight in water, which is why I’m called ‘super absorbent’—when mixed with water, I form a gel that gives a product a smooth, soft texture.
