Ethyl Trimoniun Chloride Methacrylate/Hydroxyethylacrylamide Copolymer

Ingredient type: EMULSIFIER/TEXTURE

✨ Role: This copolymer is used in cosmetic products for its film-forming and fixing properties. It helps form a protective film on the skin or hair surface, providing long-lasting hold without weighing down.

Ingredient type: Emulsifier

Ethyltrimonium chloride methacrylate/hydroxyethylacrylamide copolymer is a polymer used primarily for its conditioning properties and, more specifically, for its emulsifying capabilities. Polymers of this type have a structure that enables them to interact with hair or skin surfaces and form films. In hair and skin care formulations, this ingredient helps stabilize emulsions and improve product texture, facilitating uniform application. Its main function is therefore to maintain and stabilize the distribution of ingredients in the product.

‍⚕️ Safety: Yes, this ingredient is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics according to standard regulations.

✨ Vegan: Yes, this ingredient is synthetic and suitable for vegan formulas.

✨ Worth knowing: This copolymer is often well tolerated, but as with any film-forming ingredient, excessive use can potentially cause a slight occlusive effect, especially on sensitive skin or skin prone to clogged pores.

Present in: Mainly used in hair care formulations such as styling gels and styling sprays, and sometimes in hair care creams to give them a light texture and even hold.
