ACRYLATES/CARBAMATE COPOLYMER

Description

ACRYLATES/CARBAMATE COPOLYMER is a synthetic polymer used in various haircare formulations, particularly in styling products. This versatile ingredient functions as a film-forming agent, providing hold and structure to hair styles while maintaining flexibility and natural movement. Its unique chemical structure allows it to create a lightweight, non-sticky film on the hair shaft, offering long-lasting style retention without causing stiffness or flaking.

The copolymer's composition combines acrylate monomers with carbamate functional groups, resulting in enhanced water resistance and humidity protection. This characteristic helps maintain hairstyles in various environmental conditions, reducing frizz and enhancing overall style longevity. ACRYLATES/CARBAMATE COPOLYMER also exhibits good compatibility with other common haircare ingredients, making it suitable for a wide range of product formulations.

In addition to its styling benefits, this copolymer can contribute to improved hair manageability and smoothness. It helps to reduce static electricity and can provide a slight conditioning effect, leaving hair feeling softer and more manageable. The ingredient is generally well-tolerated and is suitable for use in products designed for various hair types and textures.
