For adults, Acrylates Crosspolymer is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. It mainly helps thicken and stabilize lotions and creams. The biggest concern is not the ingredient itself but possible impurities from how it was made.
Choose products from reputable brands or those that list quality controls. Don’t use products containing this ingredient on open cuts, sores, or severely irritated skin. If you notice redness, stinging, or eye irritation, stop using the product and rinse the area.
Ingredient safety reviewers note contamination concerns with impurities such as methacrylic acid, acrylic acid and benzene, and industry safety panels recommend limits on these impurities. Also watch for skin or eye irritation (reported at low levels). Avoid using on broken skin and avoid products from unknown or unreliable manufacturers where contamination controls may be unclear.
