ACRYLATES/C12-13 ALKYL METHACRYLATES/METHOXYETHYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER

Description

ACRYLATES/C12-13 ALKYL METHACRYLATES/METHOXYETHYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER is a sophisticated synthetic polymer used in advanced skincare formulations. This multifunctional ingredient serves as a film-forming agent, enhancing the texture and feel of products while providing a protective barrier on the skin's surface.

The crosspolymer's unique structure allows it to create a lightweight, breathable film that helps to lock in moisture and protect against environmental stressors. It improves the spreadability of formulations, resulting in a smooth, even application. This ingredient is particularly effective in sunscreens and moisturizers, where it can help to enhance water resistance and increase the product's longevity on the skin.

Additionally, ACRYLATES/C12-13 ALKYL METHACRYLATES/METHOXYETHYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER acts as a thickening agent, contributing to the overall stability and viscosity of skincare products. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, making it versatile for use in various formulations. The polymer is also known for its ability to improve the sensory attributes of products, providing a silky, non-greasy feel upon application.
