INCI : Butyl Acrylate/Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone Acrylate Copolymer
Granacrysil BAS is a copolymer of silicone-grafted polybutylacrylate with a sufficient low glass temperature that it is a pourable polymer at room temperature. The optimized ratio of silicone unit to acrylate unit in this copolymer structure makes it mixable and compatible with a variety of cosmetic fluids such as dimethicone, hydrocarbon fluids, mineral oils, esters and fatty oils. Consequently, this copolymer can be easily incorporated into cosmetic formulas without requiring a pre-dissolution. Granacrysil BAS has numerous desired attributes, in particular, for color makeup applications:
• Convenience of use.
• Enhanced color adhesion on the skin (long-lasting property)
• Smooth, non-tacky feel
• Excellent water repellency
Granacrysil BAS is an ideal polymer ingredient for foundations, lipsticks, mascaras, eyeshadows and face powders. The usage level is recommended to be 2 – 30%.
