Description : 

Acrylate copolymers are a group of chemicals that function as film formers and viscosity-controlling agents in personal care products and cosmetics.

Sources of Exposure: Personal care products and cosmetics

Health Impacts: These acrylate copolymers are typically produced via polymerization using solvents, one of which being benzene. Thus, benzene, a carcinogen, likely to be present in acrylate copolymers. Finally, because some of the acrylates copolymers are used in cosmetic sprays and powders that could possibly be inhaled, there is a potential for inhalation toxicity.
