Octadecene/Ma Copolymer

What Octadecene/Ma Copolymer is & what it does

C30-38 Olefin/Isopropyl Maleate/MA Copolymer is a synthetic film-forming copolymer made from long-chain olefins reacted with maleic acid esters. In sunscreens and other cosmetics it acts as a thickener and binder that helps hold oils and UV filters in a uniform layer on the skin. A notable property is its ability to improve the water resistance and wear of an applied film.
