Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate Description

Ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate is a synthetic polymer powder made from ammonium salts. Its primary role in cosmetics is to helps stabilize emulsions by controlling their viscosity, but it also offers a light, refreshing and soft finish.

This polymer is found in several blends with various silicones and the dry finish solvent isohexadecane. In this capacity, ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate contributes to the smooth aesthetics, silky dry down, and stability benefits its partner ingredients provide.

Usage levels range from 0.015–2.3% depending on formulary requirements. A draft report by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Board has confirmed its safety as used in cosmetics.
