GlossaryPolyacrylic acid

synthetic polymer used in hair products for thickening and stabilizing

Polyacrylic acid (PAA) is a synthetic polymer made from acrylic acid. It is commonly used in a variety of products, including hair care formulations, as a thickening, dispersing, and stabilizing agent. In the context of hair care, it helps to improve the texture and consistency of products like shampoos and conditioners, making them easier to apply and more effective.
