VP/Hexadecene Copolymer · Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer
An oil-soluble film-forming polymer that thickens oils and improves the wear and water-resistance of a formula.
What it does
VP/hexadecene copolymer is a film former that dissolves in oils. It thickens the oil phase, helps suspend pigments, and lays down a film that improves how long a sunscreen or makeup layer lasts and how well it resists water. It is a wear-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
