| Description | Acrylates Copolymer is a type of polymer that is commonly used in many cosmetic products. It is a water-soluble polymer made up of several different monomers, including methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate. Acrylates copolymer is added to cosmetic products to help them thicken, stabilize, and provide a smooth texture. Some of the cosmetic products that may contain acrylates copolymer include hairsprays, nail polishes, and lotions. In hairsprays, acrylates copolymer is used to help hold hair in place and provide a firm yet flexible hold. In nail polishes, acrylates copolymer is used to thicken the polish and help it adhere to the nail better. In lotions, acrylates copolymer is used to stabilize the emulsion, which allows the ingredients in the lotion to remain blended together. |
