Verdict
Acrylate copolymer film former providing adhesion and transfer resistance in long-wear lip products. CIR confirms safety when residual monomer content is controlled—unreacted acrylate monomers are the critical safety variable. No regulatory restrictions. Specify maximum residual monomer concentration in supplier specifications.
US Note
CIR assessed acrylate/methacrylate copolymers as safe in cosmetics when formulated to be non-irritating. Residual unreacted acrylic acid/acrylate monomers must be controlled below irritant threshold. Provides adhesion and transfer resistance in lip products.
