Science
Mechanism of Action
On the skin, POLYACRYLATE-1 functions as a film-forming agent, creating an invisible, continuous layer. This film can contribute to a smoother skin feel and potentially offer mild barrier support. Additionally, it acts as a highly effective viscosity controlling agent, allowing precise adjustment of product texture and flow properties.
