Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer is a synthetic ingredient used to enhance the texture and perceived feel of many types of skin care and hair care products. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review has deemed it safe as it is currently used in cosmetics. It was found not to be an irritant.

In its raw form, it is a white powder. It is commonly used in concentrations of less than 1% and can emulsify oils in concentrations as high as 30%\n\nAccording to its manufacturer (which sells acrylates/c10-30 aklyl acrylate crosspolymer under the name “Pemulen TR-1 or 2”) its ability to create stable and mild oil-in-water emulsions makes it particularly suitable for skin care products that are applied through spray mechanisms. Because of its emulsion-forming technology it is also used in the development of water-resistant sunscreen formulations.
