Sodium polyacrylate, the potassium dihydrogen phosphate of polyacrylic acid is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as a viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products), film former (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied) and as a binder (ensures the desired cohesion of powdery, powdery or creamy products, prevents the separation of solids and liquid components).
