POLYACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER-8.

Insufficient Data / HAIR FIXING

POLYACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER-8 is a synthetic polymer formed from a precise combination of methacrylate monomers and dimethylacrylamide, crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. While primarily recognized for its hair fixing properties, it also serves as a multi-functional cosmetic additive, enhancing product texture and stability. Its polymeric structure forms a subtle film upon application.

Science

Mechanism of Action

Within skincare formulations, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-8 primarily functions as a texture-enhancing and film-forming agent. Its crosslinked structure contributes to product viscosity and stability, providing a desirable feel and consistency. The formation of a subtle film on the skin's surface can influence sensorial experience, though direct skin benefits are not detailed in current research.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel deemed crosslinked alkyl acrylates, a broader category encompassing this ingredient, safe under current use practices and concentrations, provided they are not polymerized in benzene. However, specific oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicity data for POLYACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER-8 are listed as 'Not determined'. INCI Beauty classifies it as a 'Regulated, Synthetic polymer' with a 'Medium penalty' across categories, noting its regulation in Europe, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.
