Humectant ingredient
Glyceryl Polyacrylate
A synthetic polymer formed by esterification of polyacrylic acid with glycerol. Functions as a water-retaining humectant and film-former, creating a gel-like texture on skin that binds moisture. Distinct from carbomer-family thickeners in that glyceryl polyacrylate contributes directly to skin hydration rather than just viscosity. Widely used in lightweight gel moisturizers and essence-type formulas.
