Functions

Film Forming

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

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Viscosity Controlling

Adds flexibility

Traditional Use

Modern synthetic copolymer developed for cosmetic film-forming and long-wear applications. Designed to provide improved adhesion and durability in color cosmetics and skincare products.
