Application
Acrylates copolymer serves as a multifunctional ingredient in cosmetic products, primarily by absorbing skin secretions to minimize shine and create an ideal surface for makeup application. It enhances the sensory experience of cosmetic formulations, reducing any oily sensation upon application. This versatile ingredient is found in various products such as skin cleansers, oil control treatments, makeup, and powders. When used alongside other ingredients like glycerine, cyclomethicone, retinyl palmitate, and vegetable oils, acrylates copolymer facilitates a time-release effect that extends the benefits of these components to the skin. It not only diminishes unwanted properties, such as the tackiness and greasiness of glycerine, but also boosts positive effects, as seen by its role in stabilizing formulations with retinyl palmitate and prolonging their contact with the skin.
