Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A film-forming vinyl polymer that creates flexible, durable films on skin and hair, commonly used in hair fixative and long-wear cosmetic formulations.
This terpolymer of vinyl acetate, vinyl butyl benzoate, and crotonates functions as a film-forming agent and hair fixative in cosmetic formulations. Vinyl polymers of this type are extensively used in hair sprays, styling gels, and long-wear makeup products. The ingredient is listed in EU CosIng without any restrictions in Annex II or III, and it is not classified as a fragrance allergen or CMR substance. The butyl benzoate moiety introduces some flexibility to the polymer film, improving substantivity and wash resistance. High molecular weight and negligible monomer残留 further support its safety profile.
