Valuable CAS 27515-34-0 / FILM FORMING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

ETHYLENE/POTASSIUM ACRYLATE COPOLYMER is a versatile polymer engineered to enhance skin texture and condition. It functions by forming a continuous, protective film on the skin's surface while simultaneously acting as an emollient to soften and smooth. This ingredient also contributes to the desirable rheology of formulations, improving product consistency.

Summary

Film-forming Skin conditioning Emollient Thickening agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This polymer operates by creating a fine, continuous film upon application to the skin, which aids in maintaining skin hydration and providing a protective layer. As a skin conditioning agent and emollient, it actively works to soften and smooth the skin's surface. Furthermore, it serves as an effective thickening agent, contributing to the desired texture and stability of cosmetic formulations.
