Verdict

High-performance synthetic rheology modifier combining pre-neutralization and excellent electrolyte tolerance in a single ingredient, producing crystal-clear gels across pH 4–9 at use levels of 0.3–1.5%. As a linear non-crosslinked copolymer, it likely qualifies for water-solubility exemption under EU REACH Annex 16, avoiding SPM restrictions. Preferred synthetic alternative for formulators requiring clarity and electrolyte tolerance.

US Note

No US federal restriction. Widely used in prestige and natural cosmetics.
