Nylon refers to a polyamide (a polymer of carboxylic acids and amines). Nylon-12 is used in cosmetic formulations. The polymer acts as an opacifier (clouds the transparency and light transmission of cosmetic products), viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products) and swelling agent (reduces the bulk density of products).
