General Description:
Hydrolyzed PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) is a water-soluble polymer derived from the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. It is typically produced as a powder or film-forming agent and is known for its adhesive and film-forming properties. In cosmetics, hydrolyzed PVA is used for various purposes due to its biocompatibility and versatility.

  • Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:
    In the cosmetic industry, Hydrolyzed PVA serves several purposes in formulations, including:
  • Film-forming Agent: Hydrolyzed PVA forms a flexible and transparent film on the skin or hair, providing a smooth and protective barrier. This property is beneficial in products such as facial masks, hair styling gels, and mascaras.
  • Binder: It acts as a binder in cosmetic formulations, helping to hold other ingredients together and improve the stability and texture of products.
  • Viscosity Modifier: Hydrolyzed PVA can modify the viscosity of cosmetic formulations, making them easier to apply and improving their spreadability. It is used in creams, lotions, and hair care products to enhance texture and consistency.
  • Moisturizer: In skincare products, Hydrolyzed PVA can provide moisturizing benefits by retaining water and improving skin hydration.
  • Hair Styling: It is used in hair styling products such as gels and mousses to provide hold, control frizz, and enhance shine without leaving a sticky residue.

Hazard:
While Hydrolyzed PVA is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, there are some potential hazards and considerations:

  • Skin Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions to products containing Hydrolyzed PVA, especially if they have sensitive skin or allergies to polyvinyl alcohol derivatives. Patch testing is recommended, particularly for new products or formulations.
  • Eye Irritation: Contact with the eyes can cause irritation. Care should be taken to avoid eye exposure, and immediate rinsing is recommended if contact occurs.
  • Environmental Impact: Polyvinyl alcohol derivatives like Hydrolyzed PVA are generally biodegradable under certain conditions. However, their environmental impact can vary depending on formulation and use. Proper disposal practices and wastewater treatment are recommended to minimize environmental pollution.

CAS Number: 9002-89-5

INCI: Hydrolysed Polyvinyl Alcohol

Composition: Hydrolysed PVA is composed of repeating units of vinyl alcohol. During the hydrolysis process, some of the acetate groups in polyvinyl acetate are replaced with hydroxyl groups, resulting in a water-soluble polymer.

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: Hydrolysed PVA is typically a white to off-white powder or granules.

Solubility: It is highly soluble in water, forming clear to slightly viscous solutions depending on the concentration.

Preservation: Hydrolysed PVA should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent degradation. It is generally stable but may require protection from microbial contamination in aqueous solutions.

Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature

Raw Material Source :Hydrolysed PVA is derived from polyvinyl acetate, which is synthesized from vinyl acetate monomers derived from petrochemical sources.

Manufacture: Hydrolysed PVA is produced through the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate using alkali or acid catalysts. During hydrolysis, the acetate groups are replaced with hydroxyl groups, resulting in the formation of Hydrolysed PVA. The degree of hydrolysis can vary depending on the desired properties of the final product.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: HYDROLYSED PVA complies with relevant regulations and guidelines

Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling. Keep out of reach of children.
