At Aloderma, we're obsessed with maximizing the efficacy of our farm-fresh aloe vera. We meticulously harvest our certified organic aloe within a 12-hour window, but scientific innovation plays a crucial role in preserving its potency within our formulas. That's where Polyacrylate-12 enters the picture.

Polyacrylate-12 is a synthetic, high-molecular-weight polymer belonging to the acrylate family. This translates to long, chain-like molecules that create a viscous network within the product. These entangled chains act as rheological modifiers, influencing the flow and spreadability of the formula. In simpler terms, Polyacrylate-12 helps create a luxurious, lightweight texture in moisturizers like our Aloe Brightening Moisturizer [link to product on Aloderma website]. Beyond aesthetics, Polyacrylate-12 functions as a stabilizer. It effectively suspends and disperses the aloe vera throughout the formula, preventing separation and ensuring a homogenous product with consistent delivery of active ingredients. This is particularly important for products containing high water content, like aloe vera-based moisturizers, where separation can be a common challenge.

Furthermore, Polyacrylate-12 exhibits impressive emulsification properties. It facilitates the formation and stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions, a critical aspect of many skincare formulations. These emulsions allow us to incorporate essential oils or other lipophilic (fat-loving) actives into our aloe vera base, creating a well-rounded product that caters to various skin needs.

The technical benefits of Polyacrylate-12 extend to shelf life stability. By preventing separation and emulsification breakdown, it helps maintain product integrity and minimizes the risk of spoilage or degradation over time. This translates to a longer shelf life for your favorite Aloderma products, ensuring you experience the full potential of our farm-fresh aloe vera for an extended period.

While the science behind Polyacrylate-12 might sound complex, its role in our formulations is simple: it optimizes the texture, stability, and delivery of our hero ingredient – aloe vera. This, in turn, allows you to reap the maximum benefits of our farm-to-skin philosophy.
