Creams and gels consist of around two-thirds water, coupled with a few percent oils, plant extracts, care components, and other additives, such as perfume. Oil-containing products are generally supplemented with emulsifiers to obtain oil-in-water emulsions. Without thickening agents, such a mixture would be as watery as milk, could only be spread on the skin with difficulty, and, above all, would not be stable. Moreover, the oil would cream up after only a short time and destroy the valuable emulsion. But if small quantities of Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer are added – much less than one percent is sufficient – the viscosity increases drastically, and a stable cream or lotion with an individually suited consistency emerges.
