About
A large formulation polymer that mainly helps texture, stability, or film formation rather than acting as a true skincare active.
This ingredient is a high-molecular-weight polymer used to thicken, stabilize, chelate, or form a light film in cosmetic formulas. Because polymers generally have low skin penetration, topical risk is usually modest, with irritation or residual monomer impurities being the main caveats.
