Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer
A synthetic film-forming polymer used to make a product water- and rub-resistant once dry.
What it does
Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer is a synthetic acrylic polymer often used in sunscreens and color products. As the formula dries it forms a continuous, somewhat water-resistant film that helps the product stay in place and resist transfer. It is a film-and-wear ingredient rather than a skin active.
