Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer (and) Isohexadecane (and) Polysorbate 60(SIMULGEL INS 100)

SIMULGEL INS 100 is a pre-neutralized liquid polymer blend composed of Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isohexadecane, and Polysorbate 60, designed to provide instant thickening, stabilization, and a smooth sensory feel in cosmetic and personal care formulations. This multifunctional ingredient creates elegant gel-cream textures without the need for complex neutralization steps, making it ideal for serums, lotions, sunscreens, and light emulsions. The polymer forms a flexible network that enhances viscosity and suspension while Isohexadecane contributes a silky, non-greasy emollient effect. Polysorbate 60 acts as an emulsifying agent, improving stability and ensuring uniform dispersion of oil and water phases.

CAS Numbers:

• Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer – 105828-14-4

• Isohexadecane – 93685-81-5

• Polysorbate 60 – 9005-67-8

Because SIMULGEL INS 100 is a formulated blend and includes a polymer, it does not have a single fixed chemical formula; instead, each component has its own molecular structure. The ingredient is valued for its cold-process capability, excellent electrolyte tolerance, and ability to create stable, lightweight textures with a fresh after-feel. It is widely used by formulators seeking efficient rheology control, improved stability, and enhanced sensory performance in modern skincare and cosmetic products
