SYNTHETIC THICKENERS FOR COSMETICS

摘要

Disclosed are inverse emulsions useful as thickeners for cosmetic formulations wherein the weight ratio between the aqueous phase and the oil phase is from 4:1 to 2:1 and containing from 20 to 70% by weight of an anionic acrylic polymer obtained by inverse emulsion polymerisation of one or more anionic acrylic monomers, at least one of which containing a strongly acidic functional group, dissolved in the aqueous phase, and at least a hydrophobic acrylic monomer dissolved in the oil phase before the mixing of the two phases. Also disclosed is the procedure for their preparation.
