Acrylates/Isobornyl Acrylate Copolymer
Acrylates/Isobornyl Acrylate Copolymer is a synthetic polymer that forms a thin, flexible film on the skin. This film helps to hold other ingredients in place, improve product wear, and provide water resistance. It is commonly used in cosmetics to enhance the longevity and performance of formulations.
