Description
VP-VA Copolymer Powder is a high-performance cosmetic raw material widely used as a film-forming polymer in cosmetic formulation systems.
INCI Name: VP/VA Copolymer
CAS Number: 25086-89-9
Chemical Classification: Synthetic vinyl polymer (copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate)
Origin: Synthetic
Solubility: Soluble in water and alcohol (grade-dependent)
Physical Form: White to off-white free-flowing powder
VP-VA Copolymer is produced through controlled polymerization of vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and vinyl acetate (VA). In skincare ingredient applications, it functions primarily as a film former, adhesion enhancer, and styling polymer.
Mechanism of action on skin: VP-VA Copolymer forms a flexible, continuous film on the skin or hair surface. This film improves product adherence, enhances durability, and provides a smooth, uniform finish without penetrating the skin barrier.
Key Benefits in Cosmetic Formulation
VP-VA Copolymer Powder in cosmetic formulation offers:
Strong yet flexible film formation
Improved long-wear performance
Enhanced adhesion of pigments and actives
Water resistance in selected systems
Improved texture and spreadability
Compatibility with various personal care ingredient systems
As a cosmetic grade skincare ingredient, it supports professional use formulations requiring durability and structural integrity.
