About

A synthetic polymer used to form a film or improve texture, generally low in direct toxicity but not especially skin-beneficial on its own.

Potassium Acrylate/Methacryloyloxyethyl Phosphate Copolymer is the potassium salt of Acrylates/Methacryloyloxyethyl Phosphate Copolymer. High molecular weight polymers like this are mainly used to adjust texture, wear, film formation, or hydration feel and usually have low dermal absorption. The main caveats are occasional irritation from residual monomers or impurities and, for some polymers, persistence in the environment.
