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.
Creates Protective Barrier
Traditional Use
Synthetic polymer used in contemporary cosmetics as a film-forming and conditioning ingredient. Created to enhance product texture and provide water-resistant protective layers.
