Description
Nylon-12 is a synthetic polymer widely used in decorative and skincare cosmetics to smooth the skin, absorb sebum, and provide a matte effect. It creates a soft, velvety coverage that visually reduces pores, wrinkles, and unevenness without weighing down the skin. Nylon-12 also improves the tactile properties of the formula and stabilizes the texture of the product. It is often included in powders, primers, foundations, mattifying products, and sun protection cosmetics.
