  Sepinov EMT 10 - INCI: Hydroxyethyl Acrylate / Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

  I haven’t tried it yet but it supposed to do it.

  Or Sepimax Zen Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 (supposed to work)

  Sepimax Zen works well for me. I make a AHA gel with a pH of 4 and it is very stable. You wouldn’t notice a difference in viscosity. I use 2%, but I have a small oil phase in it as well.
