Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Low risk

FunctionSoft-Focus Powder

What it is — Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer (INCI: Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer) is a fine, spherical synthetic powder.

What it does — It is commonly used to blur the look of the surface, absorb some oil and give a soft-focus, smoothing finish.

Typical use — It appears in primers, foundations, powders, sunscreens and some serums, where it improves how the skin looks and feels.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types and often chosen for a smoothing, matte-leaning finish. It works on the surface rather than as a skincare active.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
