Polyacrylate-17
What Polyacrylate-17 is & what it does
Polyacrylate-17 is a synthetic acrylate-based polymer used in cosmetics primarily as a film former, thickener, and stabilizer. In a formula it helps build viscosity, hold an emulsion together, and leave a smooth, even film on the skin that can improve wear and water resistance. Because it is a large polymer rather than a small reactive molecule, it is generally considered low-irritation and is widely used in lotions, gels, and sunscreen bases. No specific concerns are flagged for this ingredient.
