About

A research-grade glycopolymer — polystyrene with lactobionamide sugar groups. Used in biomedical research, not in mainstream cosmetics. Polystyrene backbone raises non-biodegradability concerns.

Skin benefits

  • Glycopolymer — lactobionamide-functionalised polystyrene
  • Specialty biomedical research material
  • Sugar-decorated surface for cell adhesion studies

Known concerns

  • Polystyrene backbone is non-biodegradable
  • Residual styrene monomer is a possible carcinogen
  • Not a typical cosmetic ingredient — limited safety data
