About VA/CROTONATES/METHACRYLOXYBENZOPHENONE-1 COPOLYMER
A UV-absorbing film-forming copolymer used in hair fixatives and skincare products, combining sun protection benefits with long-lasting hold in a single polymer system.
Detailed Analysis
VA/Crotonates/Methacryloxybenzophenone-1 Copolymer is a film-forming polymer containing a methacryloxybenzophenone moiety, which provides UV absorption. The benzophenone group is subject to EU restriction under Annex VI (UV filters) with specific conditions for maximum concentration. The SDA (Skin/Dermal Absorption) data for this copolymer indicates the benzophenone moiety is bound in the polymer matrix, significantly reducing free monomer availability and systemic absorption risk.
