VP/VA COPOLYMER

VP/VA Copolymer is a film forming ingredient that works well in both skin/hair care products and cosmetics. It forms a film on the surface to trap and retain moisture for longer durations. It is found primarily in most hair care products, mascaras, nail polishes and also some skin care products. The full form of VP/VA Copolymer is vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, which appears as a white powder in its raw form.

What is VP/VA COPOLYMER used for?

VP/VA Copolymer has a number of benefits to offer in the world of cosmetics and personal care. It can mainly be found in hair care products, followed by cosmetics and a few skin care products.

Skin care: It is responsible for forming a thin layer on the skin that feels smooth to the touch and makes the surface look flawless. It also retains moisture on the skin and doesn't allow it to run dry for longer durations of time.
Hair care: It is mainly used in hair care products for hair setting. This ingredient does not allow the shafts to absorb any further moisture and thus lose any styling done on them. It also forms a thin coat on hair that helps them retain its shape.
Decorative cosmetics: It is also added to cosmetic products like nail polish and mascara because it dries up to form a film that inhibits the surface from absorbing any moisture and thus keeps it styled impeccably.

Origin

VP/VA Copolymer is made by the monomers of vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate. This polymer appears as a white free-flowing powder and is the result of very small chemical compounds combining to form a large molecule.
