Polyethylhexyl Acrylate

Polyethylhexyl Acrylate is a synthetic polymer used in skin care and cosmetic formulations primarily as a film-forming agent. It helps products adhere to the skin, providing a smoother appearance and a longer-lasting effect. While it itself does not have direct benefits on skin parameters such as tone or texture, it plays a crucial role in enhancing the longevity and stability of the overall formulation.
