Description
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer used in cosmetics as a film-forming agent and thickener. It creates a transparent, elastic film on the skin or hair, helping to retain moisture and providing protection against external factors. PVA is used in masks, hair fixatives, cleansing products, as well as in decorative cosmetics to improve texture and fixation.
