Diisopropanolamine/Methylhexahydrophthalic Anhydride Nonanoate Copolymer

Diisopropanolamine/Methylhexahydrophthalic Anhydride Nonanoate Copolymer is used primarily as a film-forming agent, which means it helps to form a thin coating on the skin. This can enhance the stability of other ingredients, improve the water-resistance of products, and provide a smooth surface layer that can help with skin texture and barrier function.
