Acrylates copolymer is a name given to synthetic copolymers that contain two or more than two monomers like methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, and one of their esters. It comes in the form of white powder or beads. Acrylates copolymer is a film-forming agent that is used in cosmetic and skin care products. It forms a barrier on the skin and results in a very soft and smooth after feel. Further, acrylates copolymer adds water resistance or waterproof quality to formulations.
