THE STORY OF GELMAKER AC-C
GELMAKER AC-C: The Invisible Film of Perfection
Gelmaker AC-C is a high-performance film-forming ingredient widely used in cosmetics for its superior adhesion, flexibility, and clarity. Known for creating a smooth, invisible layer on skin and hair, it enhances the texture and longevity of beauty formulations — from makeup to sunscreens and hair styling products.
Origin & Extraction
Developed through the controlled polymerization of acrylic monomers, Gelmaker AC-C represents a blend of science and stability. Produced under strict quality parameters, each polymer chain is designed for specific performance — whether for film formation, adhesion, or water resistance — ensuring consistency across every batch.
Cosmetic Role & Benefit
Gelmaker AC-C creates a breathable, flexible film that locks in active ingredients and improves wear time. In makeup, it prevents smudging and creasing; in sunscreens, it enhances water resistance; in hair products, it provides strong hold and humidity protection. Its transparent finish and smooth feel make it an essential for next-generation cosmetics.
Application & Safety
Gelmaker AC-C is safe and stable for use in skincare, color cosmetics, and haircare formulations. Recommended usage level: 0.5–10%, depending on system type. Non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and compliant with major cosmetic regulatory standards (EU, FDA, REACH). Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal performance.
Formulator’s Queries, We Answered
What is GEL MAKER AC-C?
GEL MAKER AC-C is a high-performance rheology modifier and film-forming polymer derived from Acrylate Copolymer. It is engineered for cosmetic and personal care applications to provide thickening, stability, clarity, and film formation in gels, creams, sprays, and emulsions.
Is GEL MAKER AC-C safe for use in personal care products?
Yes. Acrylate Copolymers have a well-established safety profile in cosmetics when used at appropriate concentrations.
Can GEL MAKER AC-C cause skin irritation?
In general, no—properly purified grades of Acrylate Copolymer are unlikely to irritate skin. However, as with all cosmetic ingredients, a patch test is recommended, especially for highly sensitive users or leave-on applications.
Is GEL MAKER AC-C environmentally friendly?
Acrylate Copolymers are synthetic polymers and are not readily biodegradable in many cases. Their environmental fate depends on polymer structure and disposal method. For eco-conscious formulators, using lower dosage, blending with biodegradable agents, or sourcing sustainably engineered variants is advisable
