Also known as
Aristoflex AVC Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vinylpyrrolidone Copolymer ADT/VP Copolymer Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer
Compatibility
Works well with:
Glycerin Hyaluronic Acid Niacinamide Panthenol Allantoin Ethanol
Use caution with:
high concentrations of cationic ingredients cationic surfactants high electrolyte concentrations
This copolymer is anionic and can lose viscosity or precipitate when combined with cationic polymers or high concentrations of cationic actives. High electrolyte (salt) levels can significantly reduce its thickening efficacy, so electrolyte-sensitive formulations require careful titration. It is generally compatible with nonionic and anionic ingredients across a broad pH range.
Formulation notes
Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer is a synthetic, anionic polymeric thickener capable of building elegant, light gel textures without requiring neutralization, making it especially popular in sprayable gels, serums, and lightweight emulsions. It functions as both a rheology modifier and an o/w emulsion stabilizer, enabling stable formulations with minimal greasy feel. Formulators value it for its clarity, ease of incorporation via cold process, and compatibility with alcohols and a wide range of cosmetic actives.
