POLYMETHACRYLIC ACID
Safety grade: A
This is a synthetic polymer—essentially a chain of tiny molecules linked together—that creates a thin, flexible coating. It's commonly used in skincare and cosmetic products to help them feel smooth and hold their shape.
It acts as a binder that forms a protective film on the skin or product surface while also thickening the formula to achieve the desired consistency and texture.
