Acrylates/Isobornyl Acrylate Copolymer
Acrylates/Isobornyl Acrylate Copolymer is a film-forming acrylic copolymer built with bulky isobornyl acrylate units for shine and adhesion. It produces glossy, adherent films that boost wear, transfer resistance, and a polished finish.

Our take
Is Acrylates/Isobornyl Acrylate Copolymer a Good Ingredient?
Good: Provides glossy, adherent films with solid wear, but evidence on long-term skin tolerance is less extensive than for standard acrylates. Trace residual monomers may bother very sensitive skin.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Delivers a lustrous look with a polished feel while improving staying power. Minimizes rub-off so makeup and hairstyles appear fresher for longer.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Used in liquid lipsticks, brow setters, and hair gels for shine and durable hold. Also found in nail topcoats and glosses to boost sheen and film integrity.
Before you use it
Safety
Generally acceptable for leave-on use, yet mild irritation or sensitization can occur in acrylate-sensitive individuals. Avoid applying to compromised or freshly irritated skin.
