About
A synthetic polymer used to improve texture, film formation, adhesion, or wear rather than act as a classic active.
This is a film-forming copolymer used mainly in nail applications. The polymer itself should have low skin penetration, but butadiene and methacrylate chemistry raise familiar concerns about residual monomers and irritation around the nail fold, so a cautious score is justified.
Function
Known concerns
- Residual butadiene or methacrylate monomers are the main concern.
- Nail-area exposure can irritate skin around cuticles.
