About
A film-forming acrylic copolymer (CAS 103479-14-7) used for texture, adhesion and long-wear in cosmetic formulations. Cured polymer is well tolerated; residual monomer purity and microplastic persistence are the main caveats.
Skin benefits
- Forms a smooth film on skin and hair
- Improves long-wear performance in colour cosmetics
- Stable polymer with low dermal absorption
Known concerns
- Residual acrylamide and methacrylate monomers require purity control
- Microplastic-style polymer with environmental persistence concerns
