Overview
Methyl methacrylate crosspolymer is a synthetic ingredient that is used for bulking, film-forming, and controlling viscosity.
This ingredient has the ability to absorb large volumes of water and oil, so it essentially creates a network in which the other ingredients in the product can live. In turn, the polymeric network provides the bulking, film-forming and viscosity controlling capabilities through this particular mechanism.
Methyl methacrylate crosspolymer also produces a luxurious finish on the skin where it leaves a light, powdery feel, and it is frequently used in skincare products such as thick lotions and creams to achieve that powdered aesthetic.
