Information

Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer is a synthetic polymer used in skincare to support the texture, appearance, and performance of a formulation. It is primarily valued for its film-forming and opacifying properties, that can create a smooth, even layer on the skin while contributing to the consistency and visual appearance of the finished product.

Where does it come from?

Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer is synthetically produced by combining styrene with acrylic-based components to create a stable cosmetic polymer. Unlike our botanical extracts and naturally derived ingredients, this ingredient is not plant-derived. It is included for a specific functional purpose within the formulation, where it helps provide consistency, stability, and reliable product performance.

How is it used in our products?

Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer is used in F96 Olive Glow Eye Patches and F97 Deep Glow Hydrogel Face Mask from OLIVEDA.  It is used as a functional ingredient to help support the structure, uniformity, and performance of the formulation. While our formulas are primarily focused on botanical and naturally derived ingredients, we may use select synthetic ingredients when they serve a specific technical purpose and help ensure the product performs as intended. In this formula, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer helps create a smooth, consistent layer while complementing the botanical, hydrating, and skin-conditioning ingredients in the patches.
