AMP-ACRYLATES/DIACETONEACRYLAMIDE COPOLYMER

Description

AMP-Acrylates/Diacetoneacrylamide Copolymer is a synthetic polymer widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations. This versatile ingredient functions primarily as a film-forming agent, providing enhanced texture and long-lasting effects in various products. Its unique chemical structure allows it to form a flexible, water-resistant film on the skin or hair surface, making it particularly valuable in makeup, sunscreen, and hair styling products.

The copolymer is composed of acrylate monomers and diacetoneacrylamide, which contribute to its excellent adhesion properties and resistance to water and sebum. It offers superior hold and durability without causing stiffness or flaking. In skincare formulations, it can help improve the spread and feel of products while enhancing their staying power. For hair care applications, it provides humidity resistance and helps maintain hairstyles.

AMP-Acrylates/Diacetoneacrylamide Copolymer is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and is compatible with a wide range of other ingredients. Its ability to form a breathable film makes it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. When used in appropriate concentrations, it can significantly enhance product performance without compromising comfort or causing irritation.
