FunctionFilm Former

What it is — Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate (INCI of the same name) is a synthetic film former.

What it does — It is commonly used to lay down a light, smoothing film on the surface, helping a formula feel even and supporting a soft, refined finish.

Typical use — Found in moisturizers, primers, sunscreens and long-wear or colour products.

Who it suits / good to know — Broadly suitable; it is a texture and finish aid rather than a skin active, so there is little for the skin to react to.
