What Polyurethane-79 is & what it does
Polyurethane-79 is a synthetic film-forming polymer formed from urethane linkages. In cosmetics it creates a flexible, water-resistant film that helps a product cling evenly to skin or hair, which is useful for long-wear makeup, sunscreens, and styling products. The film can improve water and rub resistance. It is generally considered a safe, well-tolerated film former.
