Science & Benefits

A high-performance synthetic polymer used to create 'bouncy' gel-cream textures. It functions as a non-occlusive film former that 'holds' water-based humectants against the skin surface. It is 100% non-comedogenic. It is a logic winner for acne-prone skin as it provides the 'body' and texture of a cream using water-soluble technology rather than pore-clogging waxes or heavy oils.
