General Description

GELMAKER SAP, known chemically as Sodium Polyacrylate, is a high molecular weight, synthetic polymer widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its powerful water-absorbing and thickening capabilities. It can absorb and retain large amounts of water, forming smooth, elastic gels. As a rheology modifier and stabilizer, GELMAKER SAP enhances product texture, viscosity, and moisture retention. It is commonly used in both aqueous and emulsion systems, and its ability to form clear, stable gels makes it a valuable ingredient for high-performance formulations.

Uses in the Cosmetics Industry

GELMAKER SAP is frequently used in the following product categories:

  • Enhances hydration retention and adds a soft, cushiony feel.
  • Forms smooth, high-viscosity gels for face and body care products.
  • Acts as a moisture barrier and absorber.
  • Provides lifting and tightening effects through film formation.
  • Used in gels and mousses to create strong hold with a non-tacky finish.

Thanks to its high absorbency and excellent spreadability, GELMAKER SAP is widely used by manufacturers looking for efficient, skin-safe thickening and stabilizing agents in bulk quantities.

Hazards

GELMAKER SAP is generally recognized as safe for cosmetic use, but appropriate handling and formulation practices are advised:

  • Typically non-irritating, though in rare cases may cause dryness or minor irritation when used in high concentrations or on sensitive skin.
  • Avoid direct eye contact in raw form; may cause mild irritation.
  • Powdered form may irritate the respiratory tract if inhaled; use proper PPE during bulk handling.
  • As a synthetic polymer, it is not biodegradable; care should be taken to minimize environmental release.

Storage & Stability

  • Keep in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place. Avoid humidity to prevent clumping or premature hydration.
  • Stable across a wide pH range and compatible with many active ingredients and emulsifiers.
    GELMAKER SAP is available for wholesale and industrial supply to support the development of advanced personal care and cosmetic products requiring effective thickening and moisture management.

CAS Number: 9003-04-7

INCI: Sodium Polyacrylate

Composition: GELMAKER SAP is composed of sodium salts of polyacrylic acid, a high molecular weight polymer designed to function as a superabsorbent, thickening, or gelling agent in cosmetic and personal care products.

Purity Grade: Cosmetic Grade (typically > 90%)

Appearance: White to off-white powder or granules (can also be available as a gel in pre-neutralized form)

Solubility: Swells in water to form a gel; not truly water-soluble but highly water-absorbent

Preservation: Self-preserving in dry form; may require preservation in aqueous formulations depending on other ingredients

Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and ventilated area. Avoid exposure to moisture, which may initiate premature swelling.

Raw Material Sources: Petrochemical origin – derived from acrylic acid and sodium hydroxide

Manufacture: GELMAKER SAP is produced by the polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of sodium hydroxide, followed by drying and sizing to achieve desired absorbency and particle size distribution.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (not derived from genetically modified sources)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived ingredients

Proposition: GELMAKER SAP complies with international cosmetic regulations including EU Cosmetics Regulation, U.S. FDA, and REACH standards.

Warning: Avoid inhalation of fine powder. Handle in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Swollen gel may be slippery on surfaces.
