Gels made with three different polymers widely used as rheology
modifiers in cosmetic formulations (cross-linked poly(acrylic acid),
cross-linked poly(maleic acid-alt-methyl vinyl ether) copolymer and
cross-linked poly(acrylic acid-co-vinyl pyrrolidone) copolymer) were
characterized by rheological and sensory evaluation methods to determine
the relationship between sensorial perception and corresponding
rheological parameters.
