Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer

Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer is a synthetic acrylic polymer widely used in long-wear and waterproof cosmetic formulations, particularly in mascaras, foundations, and sunscreens. It forms a flexible, durable film on skin and hair that provides excellent water resistance and transfer resistance without feeling stiff or uncomfortable. Formulators favor it for its ability to improve the longevity of color cosmetics and SPF products while also contributing to a smooth, even texture and enhanced spreadability.
