DIETHYLAMINOETHYL METHACRYLATE/HEMA/PERFLUOROHEXYLETHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER

Description

DIETHYLAMINOETHYL METHACRYLATE/HEMA/PERFLUOROHEXYLETHYL METHACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER is a sophisticated synthetic polymer designed for advanced skincare and cosmetic formulations. This multifunctional ingredient combines the properties of three distinct monomers to create a versatile compound with unique benefits.

The diethylaminoethyl methacrylate component provides film-forming properties and enhances adhesion to the skin. HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) contributes hydrophilic characteristics, improving moisture retention and overall product stability. The perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate element imparts water and oil repellency, creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface.

This crosspolymer excels in long-wearing makeup formulations, offering enhanced durability and resistance to transfer. It also finds applications in sunscreens, where it helps maintain product efficacy by forming a uniform, protective film. In skincare, it can be utilized to create smooth, lightweight textures that provide a soft-focus effect, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and pores.

The ingredient's ability to form a flexible film makes it particularly suitable for products designed to withstand environmental stressors, such as humidity and sebum. Its unique composition allows for improved product performance without compromising skin comfort or breathability.
