Polypropylene

Polypropylene is a synthetic polymer commonly used in the formulation of various skincare and cosmetic products, primarily as a film-forming agent, bulking agent, or as a component in encapsulation systems. It is not absorbed by the skin and does not offer direct skin benefits. Instead, it helps improve product texture, consistency, and delivery.

key benefits

• Improves product texture and consistency

• Helps in the formation of films for better product adherence
