Science

Mechanism of Action

PEG-10 ACRYLATE/PERFLUOROHEXYLETHYL ACRYLATE COPOLYMER operates by forming a continuous, protective film upon application to skin, hair, or nails. This polymeric film significantly improves the water-resistance, contributing to waterproof qualities in cosmetic formulations. The perfluorohexylethyl acrylate moiety specifically imparts strong hydrophobic and oleophobic characteristics, effectively repelling both water and various oils. Additionally, it can contribute to the viscosity of a product, offering thickening attributes.
