Lauryl Methacrylate

What Lauryl Methacrylate is & what it does

Lauryl Methacrylate/Sodium Methacrylate Crosspolymer is a synthetic acrylic-based polymer formed by cross-linking lauryl methacrylate and sodium methacrylate units. In skincare and sunscreen formulas it is used as a film former and texture enhancer, helping to give products a smooth feel and to hold the formula together. Polymers of this type can also help improve the wear and even spreading of a product on the skin.
