Film formers are clear, flexible solutions or dispersions that dry into lightweight, invisible layers on the skin or hair. They create a protective barrier that enhances product longevity, improves adhesion, and offers water resistance in formulations. They are used in mascaras, foundations, sunscreens, and long-wear skincare.
Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Acrylates Copolymer, Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and Trimethylsiloxysilicate. There is innovation in breathable and flexible film-forming technologies. Some film formers may be subject to microplastic regulations, especially in leave-on applications.
