Glyceryl Polymethacrylate
Glyceryl Polymethacrylate
A water-loving acrylic polymer used as a light film former and texture agent, often in gels.
What it does
Glyceryl Polymethacrylate is a synthetic polymer carrying glyceryl groups, which make it hold water well. It forms a light, smooth film and adds slip and body to a formula, so it is used as a film former and gel-texture helper. It is a texture-and-film ingredient rather than a skin active.
