Polyvinyl Alcohol

Polyvinyl alcohol

Polyvinyl Alcohol is a water-soluble polymer that dries into a thin, flexible layer on the skin. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with ethyl alcohol and does not dry out the skin.

In colour cosmetics, it helps the product spread evenly, improves adhesion and wear, and stabilises the texture. In our range, you will find it in our moisturising face foundations.

Did you know?: Polyvinyl alcohol dissolves in water - it is used in peel-off masks and in dissolvable films, such as dishwasher pods.
