Description
This synthetic polymer acts as a texture modifier and slip agent in cosmetic formulations, creating smooth application and reducing friction on skin. It helps products glide on more easily and can provide a silky, non-greasy feel. Generally considered safe for topical use, though some prefer to avoid synthetic polymers in favor of natural alternatives.
