EMT 10 Polymer is a multifunctional cosmetic polymer designed to provide thickening, gel formation, emulsion stabilization and elegant texture enhancement in a wide range of personal-care formulations.

It is based on Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer and is supplied as a fine powder. The polymer can create smooth, supple and non-sticky textures while helping stabilize water-based and emulsion formulations.

EMT 10 Polymer is particularly useful for formulators looking to develop creams, gel-creams, lotions, serums, cleansing gels, hair-care products, sun-care formulations and other cosmetic products requiring viscosity control and formulation stability.

Its pre-neutralized nature allows convenient formulation without a separate neutralization step, and supplier information indicates that it can be processed in both cold- and hot-process systems.

Main Cosmetic Functions

1. Thickening Agent

EMT 10 Polymer helps increase viscosity and build the desired consistency of cosmetic formulations.

It can be used to create anything from lightweight gel textures to richer cream-gel systems, depending on concentration and formulation design.

2. Gelling Agent

The polymer can create stable aqueous gel structures suitable for serums, gels, cleansers and other water-rich formulations.

3. Emulsion Stabilizer

EMT 10 helps stabilize oil-in-water cosmetic systems and can contribute to maintaining a uniform formulation during storage.

4. Texture Modifier

It helps create smooth, elegant and easy-spreading textures without necessarily producing a heavy or sticky sensory profile.

5. Suspension Support

It can help maintain the uniform distribution of selected cosmetic ingredients and suspended materials within suitable formulations.

Formulation Advantages

Pre-Neutralized Polymer

EMT 10 is supplied in a pre-neutralized form, simplifying formulation and generally eliminating the need for a separate neutralization step.

Cold & Hot Process Flexibility

It can be incorporated into suitable formulations using both cold- and hot-process techniques.

Elegant Sensory Profile

The polymer can produce smooth, supple and non-sticky textures that contribute to a premium application experience.

High Oil-Phase Stabilization

Supplier information reports that EMT 10 can stabilize formulations containing relatively high levels of oily phase, with some product information specifying up to approximately 45% oil phase under suitable conditions.

Broad Formulation Versatility

It can be used across skincare, haircare, body care, cleansing, baby care, sun care and selected colour-cosmetic applications.

Recommended Usage

Depending on the supplier grade and formulation, published usage recommendations vary.

A commonly cited working range is approximately:

0.2% – 5.0%

For many formulations, the actual level is selected according to the desired viscosity, gel strength, texture and stabilization requirements.

How to Use

For Aqueous Gels

1. Add EMT 10 Polymer gradually to the aqueous phase.
2. Begin mechanical agitation.
3. Continue mixing until the polymer is uniformly dispersed and the desired gel structure develops.
4. Add remaining ingredients according to the formulation procedure.

For Cream Gels

1. Disperse EMT 10 Polymer in the appropriate oil phase according to the formulation process.
2. Add the aqueous phase while mixing.
3. Continue homogenization/agitation until the desired emulsion and texture are obtained.

For Hydroalcoholic Gels

1. Prepare the aqueous gel using EMT 10 Polymer.
2. Add alcohol or other solvent gradually.
3. Maintain controlled mixing to achieve a uniform final product.
