Starch/acrylates/acrylamide copolymer means a polymer (copolymer) of starch, acrylamides, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and their esters. The substance mixture is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as a binding agent (ensures the desired cohesion of powdery, powdery or creamy products, prevents the separation of solids and liquid components), film former (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied), smoothing (reduces the roughness of the skin and evens out irregularities).
