Bis(Glycidoxyphenyl)Propane/Bisaminomethylnorbornane Copolymer
A synthetic copolymer formed from bis(glycidoxyphenyl)propane and bisaminomethylnorbornane. It's added to build flexible films, improve pigment adhesion, and refine surface feel in long-wear makeup and skincare, though performance can vary by system.

Our take
Is Bis(Glycidoxyphenyl)Propane/Bisaminomethylnorbornane Copolymer a Good Ingredient?
It provides film formation and wear improvement, but documented skin benefits are modest and performance depends on the formulation, which keeps it at Fair. Minor irritation is possible, particularly around the eyes.
What it does
Skin Benefits
Promotes extended wear and reduces smudging or transfer for a more polished look, and can smooth the appearance of uneven texture by forming a flexible layer on the skin.
Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Common in transfer-resistant foundations, eyeliners, and mascaras to boost staying power, and also used in makeup primers and BB/CC creams for a more uniform finish.
Before you use it
Safety
Generally regarded as low toxicity once polymerized, but film-formers can cause dryness or mild irritation in sensitive areas. Avoid direct eye contact and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
