POLYACRYLATE-47.

Valuable / VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

POLYACRYLATE-47 is an advanced copolymer composed of butyl dimethicone methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, and methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine. It functions as a skin protectant by establishing a barrier that reduces trans-epidermal water loss and offers mild UV resistance, while also serving as a versatile excipient in formulations to improve stability and texture.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This complex copolymer delivers skin benefits primarily through its dimethicone component, which forms a hydrophobic barrier on the stratum corneum. This protective film significantly mitigates water evaporation from the skin's surface, thereby enhancing hydration, and concurrently provides a degree of protection against ultraviolet radiation.

Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not conducted a specific review of POLYACRYLATE-47. However, its constituent dimethicone is recognized by the US FDA as a safe skin protectant at low concentrations in non-irritating cosmetic formulations, largely due to its high molecular weight impeding significant dermal absorption. Broader acrylate copolymers are generally considered safe when properly formulated to prevent irritation.
