Description

ACRYLATES/C1-2 SUCCINATES/HYDROXYACRYLATES COPOLYMER is a versatile synthetic polymer primarily used in haircare formulations. This multifunctional ingredient acts as a film-forming agent, providing both styling and conditioning benefits to hair products. Its unique chemical structure allows it to create a flexible, yet durable film on the hair shaft, enhancing manageability and reducing frizz.

The copolymer exhibits excellent humidity resistance, helping to maintain hairstyles in various environmental conditions. It also contributes to improved hair texture and shine without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. In styling products, it aids in hold and shape retention while allowing for natural movement.

This ingredient is compatible with a wide range of other haircare components, making it suitable for use in diverse formulations such as gels, mousses, and leave-in conditioners. It is particularly effective in products designed for curly or textured hair, as it helps define curls and reduce flyaways.

ACRYLATES/C1-2 SUCCINATES/HYDROXYACRYLATES COPOLYMER is generally well-tolerated and can be used in products for various hair types. Its film-forming properties also contribute to protecting hair from environmental stressors and heat styling damage.
