Usage Percentage of Acrylates Copolymers in Lotion

Based on common practices and product information, Acrylates copolymers used as thickeners or gelling agents in lotion formulations, such as Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer (like Carbomer 2020 or Carbomer U20) or Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, are typically used at a percentage ranging from 0.5% to 3% of the total weight of the formula.

The exact percentage depends on the desired viscosity and texture of the final lotion product. For a light lotion, a lower percentage might be used, while a thicker cream might require a higher percentage within this range.

The previous reply suggesting 0.5-1.5% is a good starting point, and you can adjust from there based on your formulation needs.
