Polyvinyl methyl ether (inci)

"Polyvinyl" refers to vinyl polymers, a group of polymers based on vinyl monomers. Polyvinyl methyl ether is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair), combability aid (reduces or prevents tangling of the hair due to changes or damage to the hair surface and thus improves combability), Binding agents (ensure the desired cohesion of powdered, powder-containing or creamy products, prevent solids and liquid components from separating) and as film formers (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied).
