However, it is rarely present in pure form in final skin care formulations.<\/p>\n<p>  Ingredient type: Polymer<\/p>\n<p> \u200d\u2695\ufe0f Safety: pure styrene is considered potentially harmful and irritating, so it is not used directly in skin care products.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Vegan: Yes, styrene-derived polymers are generally vegan.<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 Worth knowing: Styrene is used more in its polymerized, hardened form (like polystyrene), which is not absorbed by the skin. In this form, it is considered safe for cosmetics packaging, but its presence in skin care products themselves is negligible.<\/p>\n<p>  Present in: Mainly used for packaging or as a structural component (e.g. plastic applicators), rather than in the active formulation of skincare products.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"class_list":["post-27627","ingredient","type-ingredient","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":[],"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":[],"comment_info":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ingredient\/27627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ingredient"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ingredient"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
