Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer

Acrylates/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Copolymer is a synthetic polymer—a large molecule made up of smaller units linked together. It belongs to a family of acrylate-based ingredients widely used in cosmetic formulation.

In skincare products, this ingredient functions as a viscosity controller, meaning it adjusts how thick or fluid a formulation feels. It helps stabilise the texture of creams, serums and lotions, ensuring they have the right consistency when applied to skin.

This copolymer works by forming a three-dimensional network within a formulation. This network traps liquid components and adjusts how the product flows, thickens or spreads. The result is a more stable, uniform texture that remains consistent from the first use to the last.

It does not penetrate the skin or alter skin chemistry; instead, it influences only the product's behaviour before and during application.

Use as directed by the product formulation. There is no need for special application techniques; simply use the product as you would any other cream or serum. Consistency of use will depend on the specific product type and your skincare routine.
