Hydrogenated Styrene/Butadiene Copolymer
Hydrogenated styrene/butadiene copolymer is a synthetic polymer that acts as a film-former in cosmetic products. It creates a flexible, water-resistant film on the skin or hair, helping to improve product longevity and texture. This ingredient also contributes to the stability of emulsions.
