Polyethylene is a substance used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as a binding agent (binds cosmetic preparations containing powders), film former (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied), antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of e.g. hair) and combability aid.
