Octylacrylamide/acrylates/butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer (inci)

Octylacrylamide/acrylates/butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer is a substance used in cosmetic formulations.

Polymer or copolymer based on acrylamide and possibly other monomers. Acrylates are polymers or copolymers based on acrylic acid and/or other alkyl acrylates (acrylic acid esters). Methacrylates are polymers or copolymers based on methacrylic acid and/or its esters. "Copolymer" means a polymer composed of several different monomers.

Octylacrylamide/acrylates/butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralising the electrical charge on the surface, for example of hair), film former (forms a film on skin, hair or nails when applied) and as a hair fixer (thus enabling the shaping of hairstyles).
