Flocare SK™

Flocare SK 403

Flocare SK™ are a high-performance, inverse emulsion polymers designed to provide instantaneous thickening and sophisticated sensory enhancement in cosmetic formulations. Composed primarily of a cationic acrylic copolymer dispersed in a lipid carrier, this type of raw material is a versatile tool for formulators seeking to create stable emulsions via cold-process manufacturing. In skincare, it acts as a primary rheology modifier that imparts a unique, velvet-like “skin feel” and a refreshing, non-tacky finish. Its ability to stabilize high levels of oils and silicones without the need for traditional heating cycles makes it an essential element for brands prioritizing energy-efficient production and the preservation of thermolabile active ingredients.

In the realm of hair care, Flocare series function as a potent conditioning agent that utilize electrostatic attraction to repair and protect the hair shaft. Because the polymer carries a positive (cationic) charge, it targets the negatively charged, damaged areas of the hair cuticle, forming a resilient, microscopic film. This deposition results in abundant benefits, including significantly reduced wet-combing force, enhanced luster, and superior frizz control. It is an ideal component for high-viscosity hair masks and leave-in treatments, where it provides a dense, luxurious texture and lasting softness without the cumulative buildup often associated with heavy waxes or nonpolar oils.

To provide immediate viscosity, emulsion stabilization, and cationic conditioning through cold-process formulation.

Used extensively in high-end hair conditioners, intensive repair masks, lightweight facial moisturizers, body lotions, and sun care products.

Brand owners and manufacturers seeking to develop premium, high-viscosity products with a refined sensory “slip” and efficient, heat-free manufacturing protocols.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer.

Safety Analysis

Because it is a high-molecular-weight polymer, it does not penetrate the skin barrier, virtually eliminating risks of systemic toxicity. It is non-sensitizing and generally non-irritating; however, as with all cationic systems, it should be formulated within the recommended pH ranges to ensure optimal compatibility with the skin’s acid mantle.
