Acrylates Copolymer

Acrylates Copolymer is a large synthetic polymer molecule that exists in multiple versions, enabling a range of functional uses in cosmetic formulations. It can act as a film former, a thickening/viscosity-controlling agent, or increase water-resistance in sunscreen products. It is also used to entrap pigments and inorganic sunscreen actives within a micron-size matrix to promote even coverage and easy application.
