Science

Mechanism of Action

GLYCERYLAMIDOETHYL METHACRYLATE/STEARYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER operates by forming a uniform, tenacious film across the skin's surface, which contributes to barrier integrity and reduces transepidermal water loss. Its molecular structure allows it to attract and hold water molecules, thereby enhancing the skin's moisture content. Furthermore, this copolymer is instrumental in product formulation, exhibiting robust dispersing, emulsifying, gelling, and thickening capabilities to improve product stability and tactile properties.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has concluded that GLYCERYLAMIDOETHYL METHACRYLATE/STEARYL METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER is safe for use in cosmetic formulations, provided it is prepared to be non-irritating. This safety assessment, updated in 2018, recommends stringent good manufacturing practices to ensure that the concentration of any residual acrylamide monomer does not exceed 5 ppm in final cosmetic products containing related copolymers. Specific direct FDA or SCCS determinations for this exact ingredient were not found.
