VP/Dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate Copolymer

This ingredient is a synthetic polymer that functions as a film former in cosmetic products. It creates a thin, flexible layer on the skin or hair, which helps to provide hold, improve product wear, and enhance the overall texture of the formulation. It is often found in hair styling products and mascaras.
