Functions

Viscosity Controlling

Film Forming

Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.

Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Texture Enhancing

Controls Viscosity

Traditional Use

A synthetic polymer developed in the late 20th century for use in cosmetics as a film-forming and suspending agent, replacing natural gums in formulations.
