Acrylates/Stearyl Methacrylate Copolymer
Acrylates/Stearyl Methacrylate Copolymer
A synthetic acrylic copolymer used as a film former and rheology modifier in oil-containing formulas.
What it does
Acrylates/Stearyl Methacrylate Copolymer is a synthetic polymer carrying long stearyl side chains, which let it interact with both oils and water. It thickens and stabilizes a formula and forms a flexible film as it dries, helping set the product and control spread. It is a texture-and-film ingredient rather than a skin active.
