Polymers
Phoenix Chemical produces Polymers for Cosmetics. What is a Polymer?
Transfer-resistant polymers are film formers that dry to a water-insoluble film.
Many are solvent-based and can be nonionic or anionic in nature.

GIOVAREZ® BTB-50
(INCI: Behenyl Methacrylate/t-Butyl Methacrylate Copolymer)
is a 50% solution of an acrylic polymer
(Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer in Isododecane).
It is a clear, almost water-white liquid which dries to a glossy, clear, continuous, hard but flexible, water-insoluble film. When formulated into cosmetic products, the polymer film becomes more flexible due to oils and esters present in the formulated product which act as plasticizers for the acrylic film.
