Polyacrylamide

Polyacrylamide is a synthetic polymer that forms a soft, flexible film over the skin. It is commonly used in cosmetics as a thickening agent, film-forming agent, and stabilizer. While it doesn't offer direct benefits to the skin in terms of repair or nourishment, it enhances the texture and consistency of the product, which can help in achieving a smoother appearance.
