ISOBUTYLENE/MA COPOLYMER.

Insufficient Data CAS 26426-80-2 / FILM FORMING, HAIR FIXING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

This synthetic copolymer acts primarily as a multifunctional agent within cosmetic formulations, providing film-forming properties and modulating viscosity. It also contributes to the overall stability and texture of a product through its dispersing and surface-active capabilities.

Science

Mechanism of Action

On the skin, Isobutylene/MA Copolymer forms a lightweight, non-occlusive film that can contribute to a smoother skin feel and aid in the longevity of product wear. Internally, it is crucial for formula aesthetics and stability, functioning as a rheology modifier to control product thickness and as a dispersing agent to ensure uniform ingredient distribution.
