About
A high-molecular-weight polymer that acts as a skin conditioning and viscosity-controlling agent in cosmetic products.
This acrylate-based polymer functions as a film-forming and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. Polymers of this type are generally considered low risk because they do not penetrate the skin barrier due to their large molecular size. Not listed in EU Annexes II or III, and no specific safety concerns have been raised by the SCCS for this class of ingredients.
