Functionfilm former

What it is — Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer (INCI of the same name) is a synthetic polymer used as a texture and film-forming agent.

What it does — It is commonly used to build viscosity, help stabilize a formula and lay down a light, smoothing film.

Typical use — It appears in gels, lotions, creams and styling or long-wear products, where it shapes texture and finish.

Who it suits / good to know — Non-active and generally inert on skin; it shapes how a product feels and dispenses rather than delivering a skincare effect.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: an inert polymer. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — inert polymer.
